Took me slightly longer than promised, attached is the patch.

It changes/fixes three things:
1. Fix a bug in decompress.c : only scanned until the first
non-configured compressor (with disastrous result if that was gzip)
2. Fix a bug in gen_initramfs_list.sh : in case of failure, it left
indeed an empty output file behind, messing up the next make.
3. Make builtin initramfs compression configurable
