Good question.
Right now this would required patching the main makefiles, not sure how we
can do this better.
Maybe we need to add some additional special groups, something like
GROUP_CUSTOM_PRE_KERNEL. We won't need a post-kernel, since the custom
scripts are at the end anyway,
What other places would we have where we may need to insert stuff?
