Here is a patch for adding a stub write function to libstand,
so that you could, for example, reimplement in FORTH the
nextboot utility, which was murdered when the new boot loader
was added.
This only implements a stub function, but it has comments
that indicate the needed semantics in the presence of doing
a write to a technically unmounted raw disk, so that it
doesn't screw up your FS image.
This is necewssary precursor work for actually supporting
the fwrite FORTH verb in the previous patch (it'll fail to
do the write in both cases, so neither are harmful).
Please commit... K PLZ THX.
