One (temporary) approach is let Windows do the install, then use the
'appsonly' script to handle the rest of the applications.

I worked on this over the weekend (on-and-off for several weeks, really).
I'm not done yet, but I'll try to summarize some of the things I found...

Basically, I added a customer Autounattend.xml to my Win7 media at the
root.  Bootable USB drives work pretty well for that.  My file sets the
various things the installer prompts you for.  At the end of everything, it
mounts my unattended share and runs appsonly.bat.

I had to work around several things (like security pop-ups), authenticating
for my install share with a domain ID, and so forth.

But it mostly works.  I still get prompted during the install to partition
my disk - I tried to suppress that and just gave up figuring it's a good
safeguard.  Other than that, I don't get any prompts until appsonly kicks
in, then don't have to do anything else until after the applications are
done.  Not bad.

I'll try to give a little better summary of some of the things I bumped into
later - not much time to type right now.
