That would be very nice. There is a weird situation now where you can't 
do ISO creation within 'make release' without also building ports, which 
is a lot of overhead. I "solved" this problem by scripting the ISO 
creation as a separate step, but it felt kludgy to me.

Another nice improvement in this space would be to be able to select the 
specific ISO(s) that you want to create.
