Comment(by bonefish):

 Looks good. A few remarks:
  - DownloadOptionalPackage still contains some commented out code,
 probably from experimenting. Since the rule has become an alias of
 DownloadFile and is used only in one instance, I'd just remove it.
  - CreateContainerExtractFilesScript: I suppose the note is mostly
 obsolete and at least the commented out code should be removed. Have you
 checked out the sh vs. bash question?
  - Regarding code duplication in build_haiku_image, build_haiku_cd, and
 probably other scripts, that's indeed annoying. It would be nice to unify
 the scripts again or at least move commonly used code to a sourceable
 helper script. That's material for a separate undertaking, though.
  - No need to pass "tar" to the script at all. As long as we don't add
 Haiku-specific extensions (like attribute support), using the build
 platform's tar in the script is just fine.
