[gobolinux-devel] [RFC][PATCH] Initial support for /System/Index

[Lucas C. Villa Real]

Hello,

This is an initial kick on adding support for /System/Index to
ChrootCompile and Scripts. If one supplies a flag named '--new-names'
to ChrootCompile, the chroot environment is created with the
/System/Index hierarchy. When GoboPath is sourced and  directory with
that name is found in the rootfs, $goboVariables are automatically
exported according to that dir.

I decided to keep the legacy entries at /System/Links so that I could
use the existing base_dependencies (Glibc, GCC, ...) while trying to
compile GoboHide, which is an easier and faster package to recompile
than Glibc.

The patchset has been tested with GoboHide on a native compilation and
worked pretty well. The only problem I saw with it were leftovers from
unionfs inside some directories, such as  .wh.__dir_opaque, but that
can be easily fixed later.

Patches follow. Any comments are _greatly_ appreciated!
