That's the interesting part of the job, for sure.  The uninteresting
part is replacing the horrible bits in Jenkins that we use to build
this thing with something that looks like what we use to build
everything else.  See

/wesolows/public/build-smartos - the way Jenkins invokes this pile
/wesolows/public/jenkins-tmpl - the way Jenkins invokes normal MG jobs

Then look at
https://github.com/joyent/mountain-gorilla/blob/master/tools/jenkins-build
and figure out how to get MG to build SmartOS properly.  Once you've
done that, it should be simple to see how it all fits.  With the change
to MG in place (and any needed for smartos-live etc. as well), and new
template images, we can switch over Jenkins.

The next step is to ditch these template images entirely and create them
on the fly.  That will require some kernel work in lofi, or some better
tools for creating fake geometry and fake partition tables on loopback
files.
