installer: add an XO installer (written in forth)
This uses OFW's menu support to display an installation
method. Currently doesn't do anything interesting, other
than display available install target devices on a system.
Stick this on a usb stick (as /boot/olpc.fth), boot up your XO,
and run 'instmenu' from the OFW prompt.

debxo: update UBIFS-related stuff for generic kernels
Stock Debian 3.2 kernels now run on XO-1 without modification (finally!).
However, they require some mount and boot option changes for our custom
hardware.
Since OFW does not support JFFS2 with LZO compression, we need to be
sure to mount /boot with compr=zlib so that any blocks written out to
the partition use zlib instead of lzo.
The Debian kernels also compile the redboot directory number to -1, so
we have to override that through a boot argument.
Note that a newer version of olpc-xo1-hw (0.3) is necessary to ensure
that all needed kernel modules are included in the initramfs images.

debxo: drop gnome ubifs images
Gnome barely fits in the 1GB XO-1 nand; when running dist-upgrade
inside of gnome, gconftool-2 easily eats up all 256MB of ram and
causes an OOM crash. The gnome utilities quickly exhaust the XO-1s
ram, as well. As such, gnome will no longer be supported for the
XO-1 nand. Drop the ubifs config files accordingly.
It will remain supported for the XO-1.5, as well as larger SD/USB
devices on XO-1. Don't expect me to care about memory usage,
though! :)

debxo-xfce: use xfce4-goodies
This pulls in xfce-specific stuff; use xfce packages instead of gnome ones
(like parole instead of totem), and drop some packages which aren't really
necessary any more (links2 is nice, but epiphany's webkit backend is
much better w/ memory than the gecko backend was).

debxo: drop hal keymapping stuff
Keymappings for OLPC are now handled by udev (and included upstream). In order
for this to work, OFW must have DMI support. Newer versions of OFW all have it,
so upon detection of an OLPC machine, udev should automatically load the correct
keymap (and it should work properly for both X and console).
If using an older OFW that lacks DMI support, upgrading is recommended. If
that's not an option, just add something like the following to your
/etc/rc.local (this will force manual loading of the keymaps):
/lib/udev/keymap /dev/input/event0 olpc-xo

mkext3: add --skip-grub option
For buildling debxo images (or other non-x86 images), we don't care about
installing grub. Furthermore, on some platforms, we don't have the grub
command.. so requiring grub to generate images is a non-starter.
The long-term solution to this is to have something like:
--use-bootloader=grub
...where one can use that to select between grub, ofw, uboot, etc.

Someone beat me to writing what would've been called autox. It's called Nodm,

It makes more sense to log the entire thing (mkchroot + mkext3, for example);

installer: add actual guts..
This just does a simple dd to copy the entire drive, partition tables and all.
Obviously, this means if you're installing from a 1GB image onto a 60GB drive,
the drive will appear as only a 1GB drive until the tables/filesystem have
been resized. This is something we can tweak later..

whitespace in OFW updater script

I rectified this by applying the attached patch to the line in question.
