I use a "magic" bash script for doing this, however it isn't very 
complicated.  There are several guides you can still find online for 
doing respins before revisor and other tools existed.

Essentially it makes a copy of the original ISO contents, makes 
customizations I need (extra RPMs, kickstart files, modified 
bootloader), rebuilds the repository using createrepo and such, then 
builds the new ISO and implants the md5.

I can send it if interested.
