459a61fd2d Add the ability to specify absolute and relative offsets to size partitions.
To create hybrid boot media we want to specify a partition at a known location.
This extends the syntax of size partitions to include an optional offset that
can be absolute or relative. It also introduces validation to make sure that
this hasn't resulted in overlapping partitions. I haven't added this to the
file and process partition specifications yet but the mechanics are designed
such that if someone comes up with a good way of specifying the offset it
will be fairly easy to add in.

5a1302ab2e Replace the use of linker sets with constructors for both the
formats and schemes.  Formats and schemes are registered at
runtime now, rather than collected at link time.

8adccff34f Add the ntfs alias and support it with the MBR and GPT schemes
as DOSPTYP_NTFS and GPT_ENT_TYPE_MS_BASIC_DATA (resp).

53fcdb2d1a Fix partition alignment and image rounding when any of -P (block size),
-T (track size) or -H (number of heads) is given:
o   scheme_metadata() always rounded to the block size.  This is not
    always valid (e.g. vtoc8 that must have partitions start at cylinder
    boundaries).
o   The bsd and vtoc8 schemes "resized" the image to make it match the
    geometry, but since the geometry is an approximation and the size
    of the image computed from cylinders * heads * sectors is always
    smaller than the original image size, the partition information ran
    out of bounds.

The fix is to have scheme_metadata() simply pass it's arguments to the
per-scheme metadata callback, so that schemes not only know where the
metadata is to go, but also what the current block address is. It's now
up to the per-scheme callback to reserve room for metadata and to make
sure alignment and rounding is applied.

The BSD scheme now has the most elaborate alignment and rounding. Just
to make the point: partitions are aligned on block boundaries, but the
image is rounded to the next cyclinder boundary.

vtoc8 now properly has all partitions aligned (and rounded) to the
cyclinder boundary.

f0e9dced5c MFuser/marcel/mkimg:
Add support for different output formats:
1.  The output file that was previously written is now called the raw format.
2.  Add the vmdk output format to create VMDK images.

When the format is not given, the raw output format is assumed.

a5eb4ea3ee Add mkimg, a utility for making disk images from raw partition contents.
The partitioning scheme can be one of the schemes supported by gpart.
