[Fedora-livecd-list] [PATCH] --addXdir , facility to easily add external directories to target sysrootfs OR isofs

[Douglas McClendon]

attached is a patch which gaging from the history of this list, will be welcomed.

I know there may already be some similar functionality already in revisor, this 
patch adds it to livecd-tools

The two new options are

--addidir=<directory>
and
--addsdir=<directory>

Both may be invoked any number of times.  The contents of the directories 
specified, will be copied to the target livecd.  addsdir adds the contents to 
the rootfs of the target, while addidir adds the contents to the iso9660fs of 
the target.

An example might be to use this to add an index.html and autorun.bat to the iso 
so that when the iso is popped in a winblowz machine, a webpage from the cdrom 
will automatically launch.

The addidir copy happens just before mkisofs, so this can be used to easily 
replace /isolinux/splash.jpg

The addsdir copy happens after installation, but before the selinux relabel and 
optional prelink.

These semantics are up for debate.  Test and enjoy...

As always, comments, criticisms, suggestions are welcome.
