I stumbled upon this site http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/view...ix/readme.html which has a bit of info on remastering. He has some helpful scripts which consolidates some of the steps in eadz's howto.

As more and more info is gathered on remastering, it would be really cool to have these things consolidated into a single (or series) customization script(s) that would walk one through the whole remastering process.
