for those wondering...
kitchen is coming along great, should be out by next week (need to do tweaking/testing and all that...) it asks for input from the user to name the rom, and also provides a choice between 23017 and 23412 SYS/XIP. It uses 6.5 native kernel
There will also be prebuilt rom's available for those who want them, just a 23017 and a 23412.
