Just tried this out.  Thanks!  One comment -- I thought this would
create an autoreinstallation directory, but it doesn't download the
olpc.fth/firmware that's necessary to boot a USB disk; it just downloads
the OS image, and requires that you have already an up-to-date olpc.fth.

It shouldn't be difficult to do a git clone of the olpc-auto.zip and
unzip that into place too.  I think that'd be really useful.

- Chris.
