First of all, long-term I'd like to remove the old rules. So use the new
rules and yell here if you have a use-case that the new rules cannot
handle.
From a technical perspective, the new rules fix several problems the old
rules have:
- They are 'normal' packages, so they can be overwritten in the BSP.
- They handle dependencies correctly, so they are only rebuilt if needed.

I also tried to make them simpler to use (calculating sectors is a pain).

There is more stuff, and with the image templates you can handle some
really crazy scenarios. Unfortunately most of that is undocumented. So read
the source and ask questions here :-)

Michael
