somehow doesn't seem to work right with Bochs; after a reboot, the floppy
is not accessible (we might just need to turn the motor on again).
Not checked if this also happens on a real machine.

Added currently non-working version of platform_exit().

The target function of an item is now called upon every action, not only
if that item had a sub menu...

added to the boot device list anymore. This is currently used to remove
devices that don't support the LBA access mechanism (since CHS support has
still not been implemented).

"Continue boot" will now be disabled if there are no boot volumes.
Also, there will be an additional menu item "Reboot" in that case.
The boot device menu will now show a disabled "No boot devices found" label
then, and will be selected upon entry. Added a help text to "Rescan volumes"
which will also be selected upon entry if there is no boot device.

user menu in that case, too (to give the user the opportunity to rescan
the available devices).

whole loader from a floppy or CD-ROM and execute it as usual - and it
even seem to work, yaay :)
For now, the length of the boot loader is hard-coded, but it is compatible
with the "makeflop" command, i.e. it stores the length in bytes 3 & 4 in
the file.
Also, the maximum head number is currently hard-coded to floppies - ToDo
comments are in the text which insist on fixing this.
This makes testing the boot loader under Linux much easier, as it isn't
able to write to BFS volumes directly (and the copy_to_bfs_image command
doesn't build under Linux).

It now accepts strings of any size, reduced the stack consumption.

addresses and their sizes are now set correctly in image_info as well, as
well as the device/node fields.

reusing the standard libroot objects, but build them all again to make
sure they are compiled with the proper flags (i.e. -fno-pic).
That saves a lot of headaches: as a side effect, the kernel runs fine
again, and even the node monitor test works nicely now. Go figure.
Only the string functions remain separate, but that should be changed
as well one day (it's not problematic, right now).

Added empty implementations of fork() and all the exec*() variants; the
latter currently all call execve() and may pass the correct parameters
(not tested).
