* 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
/arch/any *.sqfs only on -T full or -T split
/arch/i686 *.sqfs
/arch/x86_64 *.sqfs
/arch/boot Memtest86+ + other files for early boot stage
/arch/boot/i686 Linux + initramfs
/arch/boot/x86_64 Linux + initramfs

-D <install_dir> allow to select install directory on target media
defaults to "arch".
There is a new %INSTALL_DIR% macro for syslinux.cfg.

This allow to have syslinux.cfg splited in multiple .cfg files.
Curretly: -S /path/to/syslinux.cfg
Changed to: -S /path/where/are/syslinux.cfgs.files/
