I'd really like to convert yaboot-installer to shell; I hope I'll be
able to make this within the first period, as it's mostly done and just
needs more testing. The rationale here is that the existing C version is
hard to develop, out of sync with all the other *-installer packages,
and I want to add os-prober support to it and don't really want to
reboot twice in order to test anything. :)

If it looks at all painful I'll work on a branch.
