Thanks for putting this together Glenn.  In the Installer section, can 
you add
an item for custom branding the installer?  I remembered hearing that 
request
from some people.  Being able to do custom branding
is a very desirable feature for the Distribution Constructor.  I would 
suggest
that a project can be started to provide convenient public interfaces to 
all the configuration
files that need to be modified for doing custom branding.  That way, the 
distro constructor,
or some other application can take advantage of these easy to use 
interfaces.

Thanks,
