NTFS support

Syslinux bootloader supports NTFS since version 4.06-pre11. Thanks to that, user can install Slax to a NTFS volume in Windows as like he would normally do on FAT. However Slax itself wouldn't be able to write to such boot device, so I've managed to compile ntfs-3g statically and include it in initramfs.

The cleanup script had to be modified though, so it actually doesn't kill the ntfs-3g mounter process during system shutdown.
