Added EFI support by the means of grub-efi
This work is based on debian-cd team work and uses, as much as possible, the same mkisofs options than the Debian Installation CD disk does. It assumes that /boot/grub/grub.cfg (and other design items) is generated by: binary_loopback_cfg . It relies on efi-image and grub-cpmodules being setup as build scripts on live-build package. In the future event of these two files being moved to a binary package (they are originally from: src: live-installer) the binary_grub-efi script would have to be rewritten to take the new paths into account.

defines which bootloader is being used in the generated image. This has only an effect if the selected binary image type does allow to choose the bootloader. For example, if you build a iso, always syslinux (or more precise, isolinux) is being used. Also note that some combinations of binary images types and bootloaders may be possible but live\-build does not support them yet. \fBlb config\fR will fail to create such a not yet supported configuration and give a explanation about it. For hdd images on amd64 and i386, the default is syslinux.

defines globally if any cache should be used at all. Different caches can be controlled through the their own options.
