Eric Andersen 0a87bc7b58 Patch from gtj -- http://bugs.uclibc.org/view.php?id=39
0000039: Adds options to ext2 filesystem creation

Adds ability to specify block and inode counts, reserved blocks, permissions
squash and device table in the configuration.

Also adds capability to gzip output and to copy the resulting image to a
secondary location like a tftp server's root directory.

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make'
2) select which packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) Use your shiney new root filesystem.  Depending on which sortof
    root filesystem you selecter, you may want to loop mount it,
    chroot into it, loop mount it and then nfs mount that on your
    target device, burn it to flash, or whatever is appropriate
    for your target system.

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!
