OK let's restart this whole architecture thing.
Firstly two patches which pass the '-z' parameter to 'file' so it
looks inside compressed files. (Thanks to Matt for finding this
not-so-obscure option).
This means the 'zfile' command is now obsolete.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a

Patch to add a DeprecatedBy patch to functions to point people to the

Looks ok, but I'm not yet qualified to review ocaml ;-)

Pass the extra -z parameter to file.
Deprecate zfile.

There's one user of zfile (in Lib.pm). This patch removes that use.
Note that the new 'file' command which looks inside compressed files
will report something like this for an initrd:
"ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC) (gzip compressed data, from Unix, last
modified: Sun May 24 08:26:07 2009)"
so checking for /cpio/ seems sufficient.

The patch looks fine.
