Well, I've gladly do this, but main problem is opensource part. xen-api 
is pure opensource and source is available on github.
XCP/XenServer installer is not. I mean, there is no published way to do 
something like 'make xcp-iso' command. Internals of installer is 
half-python, but no any information about xen-api expectation about 
files placement in older installation or proper way to do stuff. We 
internally simply hack original installer ISO to help us with 
installation procedure over md raid1. It looks kinda ugly and 
definitively not for 'public'. And I really wants to create it properly...
