UPX 2.00 now supports compressing kernels

[nth10sd]

UPX 2.00 has been released

The main news in version 2 are:

* new format: added support for arm/pe (ARM executables running on WinCE)
* new format: added support for linux elf/amd64
* new format: added support for linux elf/ppc32
* new format: added support for mach/ppc32 (Apple Mac OS X)
* new format: added support for bootable Linux kernels ("vmlinuz/386")
* new format: added support for Playstation exes ("ps1/exe")
* slightly better compression using the new NRV2E algorithm
* new options for compression tuning (e.g. '--brute')
* improved win32/pe compatibility
* direct ELF-to-memory decompression
* various bug fixes

Does this mean we'll get compression improvements in the kernel over the default format? Any pros/cons?
