[Angstrom-devel] [RFC] Adding Bootmenu/LiveRamdisk support tools

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Hello,

There were few questions how Bootmenu and LiveRamdisk images are built
already, so I'd like to add as much as currently possible support to
the tree/autobuilder, specifically:

1. Make autobuilder build corresponding initramfs images. Caveat: these
images are uclibc-based.
2. Add too contrib/ the support scripts which generate actual wince
executable images out of HaRET, initramfs, kernel, and rootfs.

Patch for the 1) below:
