Hi,

I've recently changed l-m-c to take an hwpack, which is installed before
the image is built.  To keep that change simple I had to unpack the
binary tarball into a tmp directory, install the hwpack, repack the
tarball and then continue with the image generation.  This extra
unpacking/repacking of the binary tarball is obviously not ideal, so I'm
now refactoring l-m-c to make it possible to avoid it when installing an
hwpack.

The one thing I'm not sure about is whether I should 

 a) unpack the binary tarball to a tmp dir, install the hwpack (which
may cause lots of data to be written) and then move that to the SD card
or
 b) unpack the tarball straight into the sd card (as is done currently)
and then install the hwpack

I'm leaning towards a) because of the poor write speed of SD cards, but
if anybody knows of any reasons why I should go with b) now's the time
to tell me. :)

Cheers,
