I have released version 2.1 of Unattended.  The new entries in
NEWS.txt are below.

The most interesting change here is that install.pl now reads the
partition table before and after running the fdisk commands, and only
reboots the machine if the partition table changes.

The [_meta] section now has an "fdisk_cmds" variable which is a
semicolon-separated list of commands to execute.  The commands always
run, but the machine only reboots if the partition table actually
changes.

If you set this variable in z:\site\unattend.txt or in
z:\site\config.pl, the machine will reboot the first time (because the
partition table will change) but proceed automatically the second.
This brings us one step closer to being able to FULLY automate the
installation; i.e., create an installation process which requires no
human interaction at all.

I also added a "replace_mbr" variable to the [_meta] section, since
combining it with the fdisk commands isn't really the Right Thing.
