Description: 
mkelfImage is a program that makes a elf boot image for linux kernel images.
The image should work with any i386 multiboot compliant boot loader, an ELF
boot loader that passes no options, a loader compliant with the linuxBIOS elf
booting spec or with the linux kexec kernel patch.  A key feature here is that
nothing relies upon BIOS calls, but they are made when necessary.  This is
useful for systems running linuxbios.

I've worked with Warren to make this package for LTSP; I'll help it throuh review but he will end up being the primary maintainer.
