I know this is a crazy and unlikely idea but I'll throw it out there anyway. Would there be even the remotest possibility of ditching the arbitrary file format the ks.cfg and moving over to an xml-format. Then the configuration tools for generating the ks.cfg wouldn't have to be post-processed and since anaconda already needs the xml parser for comps, it could be a simpler structure. like I said - I know it's crazy but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
