Lorax is a set of tools used to create bootable images.
AFAICS, this dep chain (syslinux->mtools->glibc-gconv-extra) is the only reason glibc-gconv-extra is in the installer env. It's quite large (8M). syslinux's dep on mtools seems to be due to (one of) its installer(s) using mtools, but I don't think we ever run that from the installer env; we only pull syslinux into it to set up bootloader stuff for the installer image itself, which happens in x86.tmpl and doesn't involve actually running a syslinux installer, just copying files around.
