Are the inputs/outputs of the binaries compatible - I think that's all that's 
needed. Clearly this could be a bit of a can of worms as arbitrary binaries can 
be run from the kickstart. However, I just want to build minimal O/S and then 
use puppet to configure the devices.

That's great. But not much use to me. Clearly, it's not a capability that's 
going to come soon.  At least I know where I stand.
