I'm planning to prepare binary images when releasing 0.5.92.

I don't know what "hide a partition" means exactly. Is there any
document or any sample source code?

You made a mistake. Commercial software is not evil at all (i.e. gcl
is commercial, but it is still free software). The reason why I think
Parition Magic and Power Boot are evil is that they are "proprietary
software". Do NOT mix up commercial software with proprietary
software!
