Preparing GP2X to run o2x executables

The normal output when building an application with Orcus is an o2x file. These are not supported by the Linux-based firmware which has historically been used on the GP2X. In order to run o2x binaries you'll need to install the Open2x bootloader, which can run them directly off SD, and can also receive them over UART using XMODEM which may be useful if you have a serial cable (I'd generally recommend using JTAG for development, it is faster and supports debugging).
