It doesn't look that hard.  It's mostly just shell script.  Then
something like mkinitramfs is used.

Yes, as a method for making a card filesystem.  There's also the Linux
which is usually in the NAND FLASH of the XO-1.  With a bit of work,
an Open Firmware script could also write the filesystem from USB.
It's just that it isn't there ready to go like it is with XO-1.5 and
later.
