	Currently sysinst conditionally checks for dhclient, which is
	omitted on tiny. The same could be done for progress, though
	that would involve adding 'PROG    usr/bin/progress' to N
	different list.* files.

	A while back I had a look at merging the various .list files
	across different architectures by passing it through m4 first.
	The same could be done with an extra option for 'TINY'...
