* interactive_autoprepare: merge _getavaildisks( and finddisks calls
* no uuid in fstab unlike previous thing
* consider syslog as logging backend
-* add support for TARGET_PACKAGES_EXCLUDE to filter out packages from a group
* more vars for automatic profile: hostname (check that adding to /etc/hosts can be done procedure-independently),
LOCALE, HARDWARECLOCK, TIMEZONE, KEYMAP, MODULES, DAEMONS, network config? (or take the config from runtime)
* what to do with /etc/groups, passwd, modprobe.conf, mkinitcpio.conf, rc.local etc with automatic procedure? configure through automatic profile or let user check out files from svn or so?
* depend statements for automatic profiles (+ example)
* use traps and initiate rollback when user wants to abort. see also http://www.davidpashley.com/articles/writing-robust-shell-scripts.html
* differentiate between framework and installer in src/aif.sh, some things should be in base
-* check everywhere that if users cancels something, we return 1, empty string behavior etc
-* dm_crypt unlock at boot is in qwerty.
* after unlocking dm_crypt, FS check fails (reiserfs, must try other)
* find a way to make _cli_ask_checklist still userfriendly for long lists.. maybe we should just propose/ask to use dia if the list is too long
* sometimes we call die_error but we go back to the menu.. eg when we run as non-root and can't log
-* automatically configure grub for dm_crypt and lvm
* fs_params in partition editor: do we really need to show them? isn't this where we store our "own" stuff?
* move "/tmp/pacman.conf" to runtime directory and variablize everywhere
* a nice way to be able to "inject" functions/logic without:

* find a way to not have to preload libs and stuff, only load them when needed. -> faster start of install program
* core/interactive: do not check hard for the dependencies. a user could really know what he's doing or need to reboot after partitioning a disk and
skip that check or something. Alternatively, maybe just show which steps are done successfully in the main menu

-* auto-configure mkinitcpio.conf for dm_crypt and lvm
* support setting mount options for fs'es (to go into fstab) in at least automatic procedures. interactive > you can edit fstab right..

* profiles like 'desktop','server' (~-> package list, configs, disk setup,..) are crossconcerns
compared to procedures (which are about "how" the installation goes:
prescripted, autodetection, interactive,...).
