Re: [RFC] make building working zaurus images easier

[Michael Krelin <hacker@klever.net>]

I have never looked into all this machinery, but since we have, e.g.
x11-image-spitz.tar.gz and zImage-spitz.bin symlinks, I'd guess that we 
can do without these somewhat ugly when unnecessary `ls|sort|uniq|tail` 
things, can't we?

Love,
