qemu: generating ext3 images including activities

[WolfgangRohrmoser at web.de]

Hi Eric,

  just a suggestion. Have you already tried to use the existing XO-LiveCD?
     http://wiki.laptop.org/go/LiveCD
  You can run the ISO with qemu, you  can use VirtualBox 
  (probably much faster), or just boot it on your hardware.
  Maybe you save time, because many activities are already preinstalled
  and it is very easy to add more (the Peru customization key activities).
