There would be, but since one of the steps is opening the launchd binary and patching it using a disassembler, I think that any fully automated build process would have to send binaries along that were patched, which Apple would clamp down on immediately. Similar to how certain files used to build Hackintoshes (in the old days) had to be torrented because they were patched.

Maybe someone can automate the patcher and get this going.

It looks like the offset of the instruction that needs to be patched is known in advance, so there's no need to open it in a GUI editor (for example, to do some searching for the right place). A python script would suffice -- just open the file in binary mode, seek to the correct offset, and write out the new instruction.

Thanks, these are great suggestions. The project is young and currently we are prioritizing adding support for UI, SEP and interrupts. We do accept code contributions so please contact if you would like to add support for something like this.
