This is the beginning of better symbol control, ars will be dispensed with.
...
Basically gbootroot has just one function start() called from BootRoot.
Eventually BootRoot will be split further into ARS and ABS. This makes more
sense then having one large gbootroot .. it just grew too much.

$ENV{RELEASE} is now initialized every time a check is run on the template.
...
Information can come from three sources, the kernel version returned from
a selected kernel in the main section, the user defined kernel version
in the ABS, or `uname -r`. User defined kernel version overrides the kernel.
The root_fs needs to be built in relation to the actual kernel modules
it will run on. Previously the $RELEASE value wasn't returned properly
because of some bugs in kernel_version_check. This has been fixed.
