And here we go. Some things changed:

* I do use getopts to parse some command options. Makes it easier if number
  of options (-l specified or not) changes.

* All variables have brackets now, backticks replaced with $(...).

* The usage of 'which' did not work for me. (which gives "xxx not
  found" on standard output here.) Reworked that...

* For legacy image config is only included in floppy image, not in iso.

* File names are always in 8.3 notation to make config generation generic.

* ISO images do contain some extra information. (show with iso-info -i ...)

Probably I missed some news... Feel free to look at the code. Anything to
change?
