The bit of this related to the GELIBoot commit, was meant to quickly be
followed by a patch to the installer to create a single encrypted pool, without
using key files (because they are not supported by GELIBoot yet)

This change was delayed due to problems encountered, and my personal lack of
time to fix them. I hope to have a patch for the installer soon that will not
use key files if the configuration allows a GELIBoot style install (GPT, ZFS,
single pool)

The reason GPT labels were not used was:
A) support for MBR
B) GPT labels disappear if the disk_ident label is used first (this caused
issues when GPT labels were used for swap in previous versions)
