18 months ago 5bbf89fc260830f3f58b331d946a16b39ad1ca2d changed to loading
bzImages directly, and no longer manually ungzipping them, so we no longer
need libz.
Also, -m32 is useful for those on 64-bit platforms (and harmless on
32-bit).

In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the
Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.
The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
simple additions.

lguest_launcher.h uses "u32" not "__u32", which sets a bad example. Fix that,
and include <linux/types.h>.
This means we need to use -I on the Launcher build line so types.h is found.

Some versions of ld.so mmap the shared libraries right in over guest
memory, so compile lguest statically by default.
[ FC7 maps shared libraries very low, where the launcher maps guest's
physical memory. Quick fix is to link Launcher static, real fix is
for 2.6.24. ]
-static is a simple fix. I expect this problem will be more common than we
like, as different distro's make different "improvements" to ld.so

S.Caglar Onur points out that many distributions don't ship a static
zlib. Unfortunately the launcher currently maps virtual device memory
where shared libraries want to go.
The solution is to pre-scan the args to figure out how much memory we
have, then allocate devices above that, rather than down from the top
possible address. This also turns out to be simpler.

A brief document describing how to use lguest. Because lguest doesn't have an
ABI we also include an example launcher in the Documentation directory.
