puppy unslung package in alpha.

It turns out that the issues with compiling puppy as an unslung package were related to compatibility issues between Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.6. I have backported puppy to work with Linux 2.4, while still maintaining compatibility with Linux 2.6.

The changes have been committed back to SourceForge CVS repository. The CVS tag PUPPY_1_0 can be used to check out this initial version. The same tag will be used to build the puppy_1.0-1.ipk unslung package.

Alpha testers can build the puppy unslung package right now, by checking out the current version of unslung from CVS and then doing a make puppy-ipk. As soon as I have a couple of reports of success, I will add puppy to the normal unslung package feed. Once that is done, puppy will be available for installation to anyone interested.

I'll be updating the puppy wiki page with more explicit instructions shortly.
