	A lot of thanks to Kaloz and juhosg from OpenWRT and Lennert Buytenhek from
	marvell for helping me figure this one out. This code is based on bash
	scripts wrote by Peter van Valderen so the real credit should go to him.

	This program reads the provided parameter file and creates an image which can
	be used to flash a Linksys WRT350N v2 from stock firmware.
	The trick is to fill unused space in the bin file with random, so that the
	resulting zip file passes the size check of the stock firmware.

	The parameter file layout for an original Linksys firmware:
		:kernel	0x001A0000	/path/to/uImage
		:rootfs	0	/path/to/root.squashfs
		:u-boot	0	/path/to/u-boot.bin

	args:
		1	wrt350nv2.par		parameter file describing the image layout
		2	wrt350nv2.img		output file for linksys style image

	An u-boot image inside the bin file is not necessary.
	The version is not important.
	The name of the bin file is not important.

	Linksys assumes that no mtd will be used to its maximum, so the last 16 bytes
	of the mtd are abused to define the length of the next mtd content (4 bytes for
	size + 12 pad bytes).

	At the end of "rootfs" additional 16 bytes are abused for some data and an
	highly important eRcOmM identifier, so the last 32 bytes of "rootfs" are abused.

	At the end of "u-boot" 128 bytes are abused for some data, a checksum and an
	highly important sErCoMm identifier.


	This program uses a special GNU scanf modifier to allocate
	sufficient memory for a strings with unknown length.
	See http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/scanf.3.html#NOTES


	To extract everything from a Linksys style firmware image see
	https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=92928#p92928
