Sped up build time for a 6 gb disk image file from 30 minutes to 30 seconds. Wow.

@joeyh@identi.ca wow indeed, disks can go that fast?
Star Trek speeds?
Sparse files are the shit. I made order-of-magnitude improvements to the
build time of a yoctolinux build by sprinkling less than a handful of dd calls, conv=sparse parameters to existing dd calls and -S parameters to rsync calls.
@alpacaherder Ludicrous speed.
