a better way to make XO images

Hi,

I propose that we use the Fedora virtualization infrastructure to create
Rawhide OS images for the XO.

It should be simple using a kickstart file and the virtualization tools
to create an OS installed on a loopback mounted file that contains a
normal ext3 file system.

Then, we just mount that file, and use it as the source for the rest of
CJB's livecd-iso-to-xo.sh.

No live CD cruft at all. No squashfs. Much much cleaner.

I'm going to give it a try once I come up with a machine that has enough
memory/diskspace for this operation...
