This would be quite useful to me for testing, great!

Using your code I made the patch I included at the end of the email.
I've also regenerated the `conf/i386-pc.mk' file, in case you don't
have ruby installed.  Can you please test this patch?  Is it ok for
you this way?

Okuji, can I commit this patch when it works for Lode?  Are there
copyright issues?

Thanks,
Marco
