Summary:                    Targets do not work correctly on Mac OS X
Description: 
Mac OS X has no "root" group, it has "wheel" instead as group 0. Therefore,
it would seem better to use numeric ids for chown commands in target build
scripts. Also, genext2fs 1.3 does not build on OS X, but the newly
released 1.4 does. Some arguments have changed and it should support hard
links now. Attached a patch to, hopefully, handle all these issues.
