How does everyone build OpenStack disk images?  The official documentation
describes a manual process (boot VM with ISO), which is sub-optimal in
terms of repeatability / automation / etc.  I'm hoping we can do better!

I posted how I do it on my blog, here:
http://blog.justinsb.com/blog/2012/04/25/creating-an-openstack-image/

Please let me know the many ways in which I'm doing it wrong :-)

I'm thinking we can have a discussion here, and then I can then compile the
responses into a wiki page and/or a nice script...
