Description:
Divide archiso project in two: archlive + archiso
archlive: Focus on building the squashfs image (with lzma patch) + kernel (with squashfs + unionfs/aufs) + initrd (boot scripts)
archiso: Build the full featured iso image using the files built by archlive


Additional info:
With this division it will be simpler for others to create their own custom archlive images to carry on their USB (also check task #10831) or CD.
Eventually, archlive could implement some advanced features like save the changes made to the filesystem, and load them in the next boot.
For reference: http://www.linux-live.org/
This task depends upon

These seems ok to me. We can just split it up into two top level dirs in the same git repo for now though

Great! I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate and take advantage of that change.

The archiso scripts were recently rewritten. I think we may cover most of the bases here, or this bug may be irrelevant now

Do we still need this? with the new archiso scripts you can easily build custom iso's.

Yeah I think this is moot with the rewrite of the scripts, closing
