bdf2a61d91 add /var/run/usb. This is needed for hotplugging. Actually, this is probably 
the wrong place to make these directories. After all, if we build this into
a real installer what do we know what to install? Perhaps we will use a
completely different hotplug implementation that won't use this directory.
Ah well, future work ;)

f20d80957c add some testscripts for generating kernel modules layout. Right now too 
much cruft gets symlinked, needs weeding and documenting...lots of
documenting....

fe355bba78 replace a lot of tools we initially use with statically linked versions. 
This reduces the ramdisk installer size with a few megabytes when gzipped,
but with about 40 MB when unpacked in memory.

There are a few improvements possible:

- strip the binaries. This saves another few MBs.
- only copy the binaries we really need to /bin or /sbin. This could reduce
the size of the installer a lot, especially with util-linux, of which we
don't use that many tools at all.
- try to move some packages we link with glibc right now (like util-linux) to
dietlibc. This will not work for bash, already tried that.
- try to use busybox as a replacement for everything.

de289092b2 - various cleanups 
- have mingetty listen on tty2 (but this still fails because of missing /dev/log
- get rid of /init on the targetdrive, solely use /sbin/init (and even that has to go one day)
- use dietlibc statically linked e2fsprogs for the installer. More to come :)

240a2de945 - make /lib/modules/<hash-part>-<kernelversion> 
- make symlinks to "build" and "kernel" in those directories
- copy all modules.* files (like modules.dep). This is done so future add-on
modules can modify these files instead of the ones in the store...

Since the Nix hash is embedded in the path, this can still be considered
safe and it makes modprobe work automagically.
