This patch series adds support for outputing an ext2-based appliance from febootstrap-supermin-helper. The usage is very simple, you just add '-f ext2' flag and the name of the appliance file that you want to write to. The implementation uses libext2fs, which is a very low level way to create ext2 filesystems from scratch. We'd like to use libguestfs, but that's an obvious reason why we can't do that :-) These patches are *not* finalized yet. However I doubt that patches 0001-0007 will change very much (and especially not 0001-0004), so those can be reviewed.
