can you split your patches?
one for the autologin as root, then the one to introduce the script support.
and can you include the 2 sample scripts in a new directory? archiso/examplescripts or something.

we also need a patch for the official installation guide in the AIF repository, but I can do that myself after this gets merged into archiso.

Has anyone tested this?  Maybe anyone out there who actually likes to maintain archiso?
