I'd like to bring in the latest few tweaks to the installer ASAP before
the release cycle starts.  Briefly, they are:

- ESC key goes back to previous form or menu
- Better error dialogue when network can't be configured
- Fixed a case in Configure an Installed System where MAKEDEV should've
  been called but wasn't
- Install a friendly 'splash screen' for the web frontend

The attached patch to src/nrelease/Makefile will build an
installer_release with the latest packages.  If there are no reports of
major bugs, I'll tag it as 1.1.5 and make proper packages available in
the proper place (i.e. the committed change will NOT look like the
attached diff...)

Please test if you can!

Thanks,
-Chris
