The removal of raidtools was premature.  Without initscripts and
anaconda changes, raidtools *must* remain.  That said, if someone has
more free time than I do right now to work on those patches... :-)

I know Seth had something that he said was working for initscripts
(although I'd have to dig through my IRC logs to find it).  anaconda
should be relatively straight-forward to do (mostly should be stuff in
fsset.py where we create a raidtab and then run mkraid)

Poke me on IRC or via email if you're interested and want more pointers

Cheers,
