[A-2216] New on ARMedslack-current

This is Slackware ARM version 13.37 release candidate 1 - no joke!! :-)

Please get testing!

a/aaa_base-13.37-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
Fixed a dangling /var/X11 symlink on a fresh installation.
Thanks to Joerg Germeroth.
a/aaa_elflibs-13.37-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
a/btrfs-progs-20110327-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
Added fsck.btrfs script to fix problem with fsck at boot.
In the fsck.btrfs script, don't check a filesystem that's mounted as /, even if it is mounted read-only. This fix allows using btrfs as a root filesystem, but /boot will still need to be on another partition using ext2 (or some other filesystem) as btrfs is tricky to boot directly.
Thanks to gerasimos_h.

Added "terse" installer prompting mode. This does the same thing as the "full" install mode, but outputs a single description line (with size info) as each package is installed. I liked this from Slackware versions 1.00 through 1.1.1 and it's nice to see it make a comeback! I'm betting this will work better for Speakup installs, too. Thanks to Skaperen on LQ.
Added the "ubi* tools from mtd-utils. Suggested by Robby Workman.
kernels/*: Upgraded.
