[Fedora-livecd-list] Bootloader --append option support?

Howdy list!

So I've been working on adding serial console support to ovirt (http://ovirt.org).  We use livecd-tools to create our images.  I wanted to add the serial console to the kernel command line but found there was no real easy way to do this (I'm using livecd-tools-017.1-1.fc9.x86_64). 

I see in the kickstart documentation that a --append flag is available to the 'bootloader' config option.  However, it is ignored by livecd-creator.  I was poking through the code and there's an 'extras' variable in the kernel command building, so the idea is there, it's just not hooked up.

Anyway, I was poking around in there so I could do up a patch, unless there's someone already mucking about or wants to fix that up.  Let me know.  I'm hoping this would be considered a bug and would go out in a point release?

Thanks,

  Ian
