This has been written and tested locally.  The patch is attached for
review.

I was wrong about this ... in that the zblocks-end: causes the file to
be closed, so the resize: won't be seen in that position.  If it is added
above the zblocks-end: a warning occurs, but the fs-update does complete.

Attached is a revised patch, which places the resize: before
zblocks-end: with a wrapper to prevent warning.  This allows the resize:
request to be added to olpc-os-builder without requiring OpenFirmware
support.
