Bug#412922: [PATCH] win32-loader integration
retitle 412922 win32-loader integration
thanks
The attached patch integrates win32-loader in the build system, to include
it with cdrom and hd-media builds (and netboot, when it comes to mini.iso)
Acknowledging the concerns Frans stated before about making it too easy for
unaware win32 users to run D-I and wipe their system, my patch doesn't generate
any autorun.inf file.
I do think it might be a good idea to explore that possibility later, but
having the feature at all is more important IMHO. So let's postpone that and
please let me know what you think about the current patch.
Thanks!
