BTW, any guide that still suggests setting HAIKU_IMAGE_NAME or
HAIKU_IMAGE_PATH is pretty much deprecated at this point - the best
(and suggested) method to build images/partitions, etc. now is to use
a BuildProfile as documented in UserBuildConfig.Readme. Based on the
BuildProfile type, it will set the appropriate variables and take the
proper steps to make sure its done properly.

This is something I've always struggled with when dealing with
"single-authored" content... and part of why I have personally been
adverse to updating many of the tutorials and guides found around the
website. I realize that I've pretty much disappeared from the previous
discussion about this - and that's largely to do with lack of time
(again), and lack of motivation/energy as well.
