I'll gladly leave that up to you :-) The reason I mentioned R/I/B was
because those are the values used in the Win2k syssetup.inf. I've since
found that XP uses the numeric values documented in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/DevInst_r/h
h/DevInst_r/inf-format_8ac2b721-76cc-4b5c-8d84-cb546161429d.xml.asp (and I
would prefer the numeric values since we can then easily use setupapi).

Great, thanks!

Our current syssetup.inf contains a [DeviceInfsToInstall] section, not sure
how to autogenerate that. I guess another set of attributes could be added
in media/inf/inf.xml? There are also some sections in the (MS) syssetup.inf
to populate the start menu, would be nice to move our current hard-coded
items to syssetup.inf at some point. Perhaps rbuild should start from a
template and fill in the blanks?

Looking at the MS syssetup.inf, I get the distinct feeling that they do
generate it (blank lines in unexpected locations). Of course, just because
they do doesn't mean that we also must do it exactly the same way, it's just
an indication that it might be possible to autogenerate.
