Each method certainly has advantages and drawbacks.
In particular, I didn't like the need to modify the existing PPCGeeks_OEM.rar in order to avoid duplicate entries.
Code:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Calculator
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Calculator
There are really only two methods to avoid this (that I can think of):
a) modify the existing kitchen RAR
b) provxml to remove the existing item in favor of the new one
Now, if you could use initflashes.txt to perform moves and deletes _and_ it wasn't as fragile as file operations in provxml, I'd be all over that.
