Stefan Kalkowski 79143f6782 tool/boot: add chain_loader 'unzip'
'unzip' can uncompress and load raw multiboot images and ELF files.

Usage together with the PXE bootloader ease life running the muen hypervisor
together with a Genode/x86_64 VM, where the raw boot image is typically quite
large.

This directory contains boot-loader files needed to boot Genode and to create
boot images. The tools are available in binary form. Pointers to the source
code respectively the download source of binaries are described below.

:'bender'

  The 'bender' tool is part of the 'morbo' toolchain available under GPL.
  The toolchain was obtained from https://github.com/TUD-OS/morbo.
  For Genode the bender was modified so that binaries are only relocated up
  to 2G physical. Relocation can be disabled by the commandline option
  "norelocate".
  The changes are available on the genode_bender branch of
  https://github.com/alex-ab/morbo.git.

:'pulsar':

  The 'pulsar' tool was obtained in binary form from 
  http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~us15/pulsar.

:'chain.c32', 'isolinux.bin'

  These files are part of the 'Syslinux Project' hosting several bootloaders.
  The sources has been obtained from http://www.syslinux.org.

:'stage2_eltorito':

  This file is part of a modified Grub 0.97 available under GPL. The sources
  of the modified Grub 0.97 were obtained from
  http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~adam/grub.

:'unzip'

  The 'unzip' tool is part of the 'morbo' toolchain available under GPL.
  The toolchain was obtained from https://github.com/TUD-OS/morbo.
  For Genode the unzip was modified so that raw binary images with a Multiboot
  OS header can be loaded.
  The changes are available on the genode_bender branch of
  https://github.com/skalk/morbo.git.
