Title: Remove mkimage-centos.sh in favor of a new rinse-based script...

since febootstrap is fragile and picky.

Febootstrap is officially deprecated by its developers, but besides that is really only useful to create a chroot system of the currently running system (ie, creating a centos-5 container on centos-5).

Rinse is more similar to debootstrap in that it can run on non-yum based platforms. This is the script I used to create `tianon/centos:5.9` and `tianon/centos:6.4` (from Gentoo, no less) which are on the index currently (and are much smaller than the current official centos image):
