Just get my AUR package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25996)
to get the utils installed on your system and clone git (git clone
git://projects.archlinux.org/archiso.git) to get the scripts. Then go to
archiso/configs/syslinux-iso/ and run make.
This should get you an updated set of isos for your architecture.

Also, I'm trying hard to keep the archiso wiki article
(http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso) updated and in good shape
to make it easier to make your own Arch-based distribution.

Please let me know if there's anything else left to document until
archiso becomes usuable to you.
