Why? This way we don't need to recompile the image when the size of the
LinuxBIOS image changes. This alows building images for 50 motherboards
and equipping each with 10 payloads, resulting in 500 images while you
only have to build each payload once and each motherboard, too.
There's also a small "fix" allowing the compression type to be case
insensitive. Not really relevant I guess.

- Add compression capabilities to lar and expose in user interface
- Provide a way to mark files as non-compressible

keep the c++ compiler happy (lzma is c++ code and thus must be linked by a
c++ compiler).
The Makefiles are changed so lar is build with HOSTCC but linked with HOSTCXX
(so the c++ library is picked up)

current stubs), both as utilities and object files to link with
lar (once lar is capable of that).
There are some details that could be discussed (eg. I could avoid the
duplication of LZMA_OBJ, but that would mean using ::-rules in
util/lzma/Makefile with whatever side effects those bring, or
by splitting them into a separate file), but I tried it here, and it works.

Instead of having a bootblock and a lar archive, the bootblock is now
part of the archive:
$ lar -l build/linuxbios.rom
normal/initram (93 bytes @0x24)

normal/stage2 (32028 bytes @0x80e4)

is a base change to make the whole linuxbios.rom a lar file.
* fix a whole lot of lar bugs (that never showed up in production yet)
* add proper option parsing to lar
* add verbose option
* add option to automatically pad lar archive to a certain size
* add proper file handling (specifying a directory will now pack all files
in that directory into the lar, instead of a 4k dummy file)
* catch lots of user errors, less implicit assumptions
* merge all header files into lib.h (except lar.h which is needed by other
programs using the lar format). lib.h is still very small.
* print errors to stderr
* (slipped in) copy linuxbios.rom to bios.bin for qemu ;-)
* adapt arch/x86/Makefile to use the new features.
* set version to 0.9
* lots of security bugs fixed (thanks to Uwe!)
* catch low memory conditions in strdup

accordance to the newboot document:
* reset vector (16 bytes)
* vpd (240bytes)
* boot block (8k - 256b)
* lar archive (256-8 k)
The boot block is kind of simple, still. It enables pmode, car, and
starts looking for an initram module in the lar archive.
Note: This doesnt do much at the moment,
as gas seems to produce buggy code in init.S.
Take this as a suggestion of how it might work and please provide
patches fixing it and bringing it into shape.
