That's exactly what we wanted to do, but this has to be done by a windows app
and windows is particularly stupid about permissions when files are copied to
and from the target Linux machine. Additionally, we were never able to find a
way to properly build the squashfs filesystem in Windows.
What we now do is to install our files into the running system by storing them
in a TC extension outside initrd. We still have to do a bit of permissions
manipulation, but it works.
