* Use device mapper + snapshot module, instead union layer filesystem.
* A block-level approach vs vfs-level.
* No more unofficial (Linux) things.
* More memory is needed.
* Refactor mkarchiso.
* Refactor hooks/archiso.
* Fix install/archiso_pxe_nbd
(due recent change in mkinitcpio-0.6.15 on checked_modules()/all_modules())
[Thanks Dave for the improved workaround]
* New configs/releng to build official images.
* Works with a Bash script instead of Makefile.
(better control and easy to maintain)
* Remove configs/syslinux-iso.
* Remove archiso2dual script. Integrate functionality in configs/releng.
* New configs/baseline to build the most basic live medium or use as template.
* New README (draft). [Thanks Dieter for fixing english grammar]

Needs mkinitcpio >= 0.6.9-1 (otherwise does not work with passed options to xz).

Add two parameters:
img_dev=/dev/sdNM
where /dev/sdNM is the device where .iso is located.
img_loop=/path/to/arch.iso
where /path/to/arch.iso is the full path of the .iso in the device img_dev.
Original idea from Baurzhan Muftakhidinov.

This requires mkinitcpio 0.6.7 or later, as well as syslinux 4.00pre56
or later. See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK

* Register a mount_hook if booted via PXE. This allows to do all needed
steps before and after calling archiso_mount_handler.
* umount and disconnect network device if copytoram=y

nbd (network block device utilities) package is required.
This package is in AUR at this moment.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9691
Also added dnsmasq pkg, so the live-medium, appart of support booting from PXE
also add the capability to acts as server for PXE & NBD.
This is a dirty script to ilustrate how to launch server:
---- Cut here ----
IP=$1
ISO=$2
ifconfig eth0 ${IP}
dnsmasq \
--enable-tftp \
--tftp-root=/bootmnt/boot \
--dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0,"${IP}" \
--dhcp-range=${IP%.*}.2,${IP%.*}.254,86400
nbd-server 9040 ${ISO} -r
---- Cut here ----

Takes the advantage of already symlinks created on /dev/disk/by-label/ by
60-persistent-storage.rules add by udev hook.
Tested on:
* Real machine as CD-ROM and USB key drive.
* KVM as CD-ROM and DISK (for both modes, in combination with IDE and SCSI)
* VirtualBox as IDE CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT note: Since isohybrid is a hack, if more partitions are added to
USB key drive, filesystem on these partitions MUST have LABEL, otherwise
USB key will fail to boot. Anyway there is an option archisodevice=,
to force and specific device where live-media reside.
(Maybe isohybrid will change the hack method used in a future)

To make compatible with disablehooks= param. Since "hook_archiso-early"
is not a valid variable name.
