Bin2Boot questions (theory and functionality)

I've had great success with the Echelon self-boot tutorial to date, but I haven't tried out bin2boot yet. Since the data-then-audio format seems to be more compatible with later DCs, this util could be vital if I end up replacing my older console.

A couple of questions:

* I'm assuming that if I have a non-selfboot bin-cue or iso image, that bin2boot is to be used on that with no further tinkering on my part. What about images that are already selfboot? Will the ip.bin or 1st_read bin need to be hacked before using bin2boot?

* Has anyone thought about rewriting the Echelon tutorial to take this newer layout into account? I'd be interested to know how to build a new-format selfboot from scratch, and whether the ip.bin/1st_read.bin files would need to be tinkered with in that case. I may do some experimentation on my own, but if anyone's figured this out already I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
