Major reorganization - initramfs structure is now externalized in separate folder structure. Added support for overlay from folders and disk images. Overlay structure has been externalized in separate folder. Added support to use preconfigured ".config" files for BusyBox and kernel.

Unmount device on overlay failure before continuing to next device. Overlay support works from different device without unmounting the first device, so this might be a bug in BusyBox.

Added overlay support which mounts /minimal/rootfs if it is found on the boot media. Note that this doesn't work on vfat. Works fine on CD image and on separate ext2 partition.

The root location is changed dynamically via 'switch_root'. This is prerequisite for more complex boot process.

Syslinux is now automatically downloaded and ISO image generation process uses precompiled Syslinux binaries. The initramfs logging has been improved and more details are displayed during boot.

Moved the stable 'glibc-busybox' scripts from the experimental folder to the root script folder. Removed the 'experimental' folder because the DNS resolving issue has been fixed. Added website information about the '03-Apr-2016' release.

Updated the root FS generation process to support x86_64 machines. GNU libc dependencies have been reduced significantly and only the DNS related libraries are used. This works for x86_64 machines but hasn't been tested on pure 32-bit machines.

Added experimental folder 'glibc-busybox' which solves the DNS issue. This works on 32bit machines. Not tested on 64bit machines. This is not at all "minimal" and needs *a lot* of RAM (256MB for now).

John Jolly suggested to use "cpio" with "-R root:root" in order to generate rootfs with all files and folders owned by root (uid 0 and gid 0). This hasn't been tested yet.

Reorganized the 'experimental' folder. Added 'experimental/musl' whish solves the DNS resolving issue. This should be optimized to use the newly downloaded kernel headers (if possible).

Few improvements based on contributed code and user proposals:
...
* Added basic DHCP network support. DNS not working due to glibc static linking issues.
* Added 'genisoimage' fix for Debian systems.
* Added compilation optimization which significantly reduces the overall compilation time.

This change fixes a bug by adding a sed command to force the arch/x86/boot/Makefile to use genisoimage instead of mkisofs.

• The kernel is now "3.16.1".
...
• Some additional minor improvements. Most notable change - the 'init' script is generated by using cat + here.
Note - all changes, including the latest few merges are *not* tested yet.
TODO 1 - test all changes since the last release and prepare new release if there are no issues.
TODO 2 - create new tutorial document based on the latest scripts (optional, if there is free time).
