[ANNOUNCE] mkelfImage-2.1

mkelfImage-2.1 is now released.

mkeflImage is a tool for generating bootable ELF executables suitable
for feeding to LinuxBIOS and etherboot.  Currently it supports the
linux kernel on both the Itanium and x86 architectures.

- Broken binutils version available with Redhat 7 are now detected,
  at runtime and an error results instead of broken images.
  Anyone want to update the autoconf script so this fails at build time?
- gzipped kernels are now supported.
- Minor cleanups.

And of course mkelfImage-2.1 is completely in C so it builds images
much faster than mkelfImage-1.x.
