[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] new package - generate iso with isolinux bootloader

[jean.sorgemoel at laposte.net <jean.sorgemoel@laposte.net>]

Thomas, Arnout,

I sent new patch to include your comment.
I modify iso9660 module (add choice to select grub or isolinux)

I'm not happy with my code.
For each image we use different filename:
      rootfs.iso9660 for grub
      rootfs.isolinux.iso9660 for isolinux
The code is similar but we have each difference on dependency (and other 
but not important)

I'm not sure understand optional initramfs (because it's not easy to see 
if option activated) but I implement same method of old module iso9660 
(with grub)

Thanks for your remark (and your time)

Regards,
Jean
