To create rescue.bin and root.bin without being root (IOW, without
mounting a loop filesystem, etc...). Basically you copy all the files to a
directory, and run the program, and it will create an image that mirrors
that directory (and it creates everything as root.root, no matter what the
perms are in the dir).
