The horse is currently in training, or to put it more mundanely, the
squashfs 4.0 tools are currently in Squashfs CVS :-)

I have been working on the 4.0 squashfs tools for the last couple of
months making them (mksquashfs and unsquashfs) ready for a supported
release.  Now that Linux 2.6.29 has been released (3 hours ago), I
need to make this release ASAP, which as everything is almost finished,
should be sometime this week.
