 The Makefile simply creates independent FS (or label) images
 and just concatenates them, so adding a new partition would be
 trivial (if they are exclusive).

 This has been in my todo list, but less motivated..
 (should be trivial since newfs_ext2fs(8) is mostly based on newfs(8),
  but global option variables might be annoying)
