Hi,

Ok, I updated the Pierre-Francois' spells to the latest versions, also
added the libminimal to support reiser4 in various things (grub for
example).

You can find the patch to include in linux spell, to enable reiser4 support.

I added the patch for grub, but there's still work for this : I had to
disable grub-0.95-graphics.patch and grub-0.95-graphics-bootterm.patch
, and you have to say no to bootless support, in order to compile
grub. Grub seems to work this way, but I didn't have time to test boot
on reiser4 yet, I'll try tomorrow I think. (oh and btw there should be
a "enable reiser4" question in CONFIGURE, i'll add it later)

Thomas
