add /var/run/usb. This is needed for hotplugging. Actually, this is probably
...
the wrong place to make these directories. After all, if we build this into
a real installer what do we know what to install? Perhaps we will use a
completely different hotplug implementation that won't use this directory.
Ah well, future work ;)

replace a lot of tools we initially use with statically linked versions.
...
This reduces the ramdisk installer size with a few megabytes when gzipped,
but with about 40 MB when unpacked in memory.
There are a few improvements possible:
- strip the binaries. This saves another few MBs.
- only copy the binaries we really need to /bin or /sbin. This could reduce
the size of the installer a lot, especially with util-linux, of which we
don't use that many tools at all.
- try to move some packages we link with glibc right now (like util-linux) to
dietlibc. This will not work for bash, already tried that.
- try to use busybox as a replacement for everything.

- make /lib/modules/<hash-part>-<kernelversion>
...
- make symlinks to "build" and "kernel" in those directories
- copy all modules.* files (like modules.dep). This is done so future add-on
modules can modify these files instead of the ones in the store...
Since the Nix hash is embedded in the path, this can still be considered
safe and it makes modprobe work automagically.
