Alexey Dokuchaev 410a68ea81 - Rephrase the comment about why we're calling getvfsbyname(3) to make
more sense: saving a few CPU cycles by comparing integers instead of
  strings is just a nice collateral bonus and not really important
- Fix free disk space calculation in unetbootin::checkifoutofspace();
  previously it was totally bogus (multiplying `f_bavail' and `f_bfree'
  fields of `struct statfs', really?), and bump threshold to 1024 KB
  from the original 1024 bytes (sic)
- Add a `pkg-message' suggesting a work-around for a common problem of
  getting "Boot error" message when booting off MBR-partitioned drives
- Couple of cosmetic changes: move NO_WRKSUBDIR line where it normally
  belongs and sort USE_QT4 values; extend port description text a bit

If SysLinux refuses to boot with a "Boot error" message when written to
a PC partition (slice), try to reformat the drive in raw (or dedicated)
mode (that is, without a partition table), then reinstall things again.
