Go ahead, change the scripts, build your own custom-installer, or even better, use a bata-pack. Run "ant build.beta" in /build/ folder.
Copy /Beta/ to IM of your Reader.

"Installed" PRS+ mod's are integrated via mount --bind so actually no risky flashing at all, and if anything goes wrong, namely a missformated main.xml or something like that, there is "Safe-Mode". Which will be entered when the Reader is started connected to USB.
Under this condition PRS+ will not be loaded, and you will get first into data-transfer-mode, to fix up things, and after disconnect, the unalterd Sony-UI will start.
