inject files into a boot.wim.

this would
- reduce the pains of managing multiple boot.wim files.
- remove the need for imagex to add small scripts
- add simple dynamic install scripts from a webservice

wimboot currently has the ability to extract files from a .wim image (and so has some understanding of the .wim format), and also has the ability to apply arbitrary binary patches to a file exposed to the next-stage bootloader. It wouldn't be impossible to extend this to add the ability to inject files into the .wim image, but it would be non-trivial. I estimate 3-5 days of work.
