If ``"newbie" features that "do it all"'' is supposed to include
repartitioning the disk and moving around a Windows XP partition,
and provdin a boot selector, you are going to have one hell of a
time adding this feature to sysinstall.

Even so, that won't keep a Windows 2000/XP recovery disk from
stomping your FreeBSD out of existance, each time you use it.

Some of the referenced article's "non-negotiable requirements"
are bogus as all get out.
