purge_single command can be usefull to save space during build. It removes
all files in working directory except "iso/" and *.iso.
Workflow can be:
(32) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> i686 *.iso are ready.
(32) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup.
(64) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> x86_64 *.iso are ready.
(64) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup.
(any) ./build.sh all_iso_dual -> dual *.iso are ready.

re-mount / as rw does not fail since regular file /etc/mtab does not exist
at that stage.
/etc/mtab was removed from root-image in this commit:

* 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]

* Change from none -> union (looks like util-linux is confused BUG?)
Avoid the message: "umount aufs failed: not found" at shutdown.
#1 mount -t tmpfs none /something
#2 mount -t tmpfs xxxx /something
The output of findmnt -rnu -o SOURCE will be blank in #1.
* Change from aufs -> auto, make its more generic.
* Update devpts and shm entries.

This makes interactive installations over serial consoles possible with
nothing more than specifying the console= kernel parameter.
Changed inittab id "s0" -> "z0" to avoid conflict with line ttyS0. (Gerardo)

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 is how ISO will look now:
/syslinux only syslinux related files (syslinux.cfg, *.c32, etc)
/arch/ isomounts + *.sqfs images
/arch/boot/ Linux + initramfs + Memtest86+ + other files for early boot stage

syslinux's KERNEL command tries to autodetect the type of the kernel
by looking at the file's extension. This is unsafe, use the explicit
versions instead:
LINUX - for Linux kernels (memtest is booted like a Linux kernel, too)
COM32 - for COM32 modules
COMBOOT - for comboot modules (only poweroff.com right now)
