Seems reasonable, although the need for more options being passed to

rpm and mkisofs both have the ability to read a configuration file
to ascertain local preferences, why not buildinstall?
Presumably, CentOS, Scientific Linux, Fedora and Red Hat don't
change their logos all that often. Surely reading a configuration
file to get this information is way simpler for the user than having
to remember myriad commandline switches! I've been known to write a
script just to customise a complex commandline (rsync is another
with an overly complicated commandline).
You think rsync is difficult? Try mkisofs, tar, cpio, or iptables.
I could go on, but that might derail the thread.
