It calls the "mkimage" command, which does not exist
in my $PATH.

well, mkImage is a part of u-boot and there was some talk to make it part of kernel too,
since it does not take alot of place but still mandatory for a number of platforms to work.
I think, Paul will clarify the details, meanwhile you can install mkImage say building u-boot, and
some distros may have such a package.

Ubuntu doesn't seem to, though.
In any case, I think that the name "mkimage" is bad for a tool installed
globally in /usr. Does it make a iso9660 image? (No it doesn't, I know :) )
I'd vote for shipping it with the kernel in /scripts or something like that.
