[Oberon] A2 Repository

[Felix Friedrich]

Hi Peter

For the native versions of A2 there has been some progress made now. A 
minimal A2HDD.img that can be booted from Bochs / VMWare / Qemu can 
built with a very simple script (that I attach below).

More commands for building an A2 with GUI and all extras will appear in 
tool files in A2 soon.

Kind regards
Felix
