Hello!

Commit 7a18c3c adds a simple cpio writer (for one of the various
variants of the cpio format) written in Scheme.  It is then used in (gnu
build linux-initrd) as a replacement for GNU cpio when building
initrds.

The advantages are better integration (no fork/pipe), no dependencies,
tight control over the created archives, which allows us to create them
completely deterministically (see eae5b3f.)

Comments welcome!

Ludo’.
