Right, I see that it's building a whole hard disk image rather than just
an ext3 file system image.

OK. I'm a bit concerned that we might have some binaries installed in
/bin or /sbin which need those libraries that moved.

Also we don't any targets (image generators) capable of generating
separate root and /usr images afaik. But they can be developed later.


Thanks for all your patches by the way. I don't mean to be a harsh
critic.
