[Fedora-livecd-list] What's needed to bring latest Fedora LiveCD Tools up to RHEL 5?

It's now clear I will make the time to help do this, as the LiveCD build
system seems to be the best way to accomplish many goals I have.  Some
of this may require a fork of select packages from RHEL mainstream, I
understand this.  It's an external requirement in my case.

livecd-tools is currently release 013-5.el5 in EPEL for RHEL 5

I know several have mentioned other components are involved.  E.g., as
Rahul pointed to me earlier, the CentOS guys have updated several
components in their project (pykickstart, etc...):

Ultimately I would like to make the system more flexible for various
boots, if possible with that same framework.  But that's more eccentric
to my needs.  I'd just like to address the few differences between
Fedora and RHEL, even if that means a few packages are forked and
unsupported (at least outside of GPS ;).
