http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-xs-builder 
is the new way of using pungi for the XS, my local version is at: 
https://dev.laptop.org.au/projects/xs-au/repository/revisions/master/show/olpc-xs-builder/xsau-F11

exclude what is not wanted before rolling the iso. Please have a look at
build.sh for the whole routine used.
