Yes, at least that appears to be partly done...

How do you take gnuk-no-vidpid.elf and turn it into something usable
with a VID:PID? Is there a script you can use to inject the VID:PID? Are
you expected to take a hex editor to it?

As far as I can tell, the way to produce an image with VID:PID included
still requires the GnuK source to build the flashable image?  Maybe it's
just my lack of understanding (admittedly very rough), or a
documentation issue...
