Keeping it int he "arcane" way is the best, as you only need one copy of each driver or patch, and you can still apply the ones for your specific motherboard.

Also, there is already a app that does this, written by ~pcwiz as well.
Just to add a little on here... People shouldn't just blindly install OS X without going and doing a little system research. Putting packages together would lead to the idea that they don't have to know anything more than their motherboard model... this just isn't the way to go.

but yes, the space issue is the biggest.
