Util-linux-ng-2.16-rc1 in Chapter 5

I was experimenting with Util-linux-ng-2.16-rc1 and we may need to fix up what 
we do in chapter 5.  Right now we:

make -C disk-utils mkswap
make -C mount mount umount
make -C text-utils more

cp -v disk-utils/mkswap mount/{,u}mount text-utils/more /tools/bin

But in 2.16 the disk-utils/mkswap mount/{,u}mount programs are scripts with
the following comments:

# The <filename> program cannot be directly executed until all the libtool
# libraries that it depends on are installed.
#
# This wrapper script should never be moved out of the build directory.
# If it is, it will not operate correctly.

I'm guessing that we'll have to do a full build/install into tools, but I 
haven't checked it out yet.
