 Looks great. Could you add one more feature, as you already knee-deep
 in this code? It will be very useful to have mode to create only
 "upgrade" (code) partition. Now, to build upgrade image, script
 creates full disk image and then copy-out upgrade partition. It is
 not optimal, and most of time, IMHO, user need only this upgrade
 partition and not full image.
