* Include a `userimg.jl` file that includes packages into the system image, thereby creating a system
image that has packages embedded into the startup environment.

Julia now ships with a script that automates the tasks of building the system image, wittingly
named `build_sysimg.jl` that lives in `DATAROOTDIR/julia/`. That is, to include it into a current
Julia session, type:

```julia
include(joinpath(Sys.BINDIR, Base.DATAROOTDIR, "julia", "build_sysimg.jl"))
```

This will include a `build_sysimg` function:

```@docs
BuildSysImg.build_sysimg
```

Note that this file can also be run as a script itself, with command line arguments taking the
place of arguments passed to the `build_sysimg` function. For example, to build a system image
in `/tmp/sys.{so,dll,dylib}`, with the `core2` CPU instruction set, a user image of `~/userimg.jl`
and `force` set to `true`, one would execute:

```
julia build_sysimg.jl /tmp/sys core2 ~/userimg.jl --force
```
The [`PackageCompiler.jl` package](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl) contains convenient
wrapper functions to automate this process.
