In the 51-grub hook, after the GRUB installation, the script will look
for a GRUB configuration file and in case it's not present one will
be generated using the grub-mkconfig command. The reason why it have
to be done is because the new Fedora 19 cloud images is using extlinux
by default.

Many python extensions are built from source each time an image is
built. Repeating these is wasteful, so ccache is employed to eliminate
that waste. A cache dir outside the chroot is used to speed up
subsequent image builds.

Apply kernel command line parameters to force Linux to remain in text
mode. Typical distro kernels quickly switch into a graphical screenmode
and this is incompatible with common Lights Out Management hardware
which is able to intercept text mode consoles to display them remotely.

ARM doesn't have a generic Linux image due to the soc-specific nature of Linux
kernels today, so we drop the manual installation of that package, replacing it
with a dist-upgrade instead. This involved tweaks to the dpkg and fedora
install-package scripts.

This will write two files in /etc/ that contain the environment and
command line arguments used in the creation of an image. This should
assist with later efforts to repeat the creation of an image.

Fix a typo in the base element itself.
Refer to it early in the README since it is likely to be useful to
almost everyone.

Flavour is overloaded in openstack due to it being used by nova. Element
seems to have the same feeling of combinability without using a term already
in active use in the openstack community.
