Well, I was originally thinking of writing something up for that, but 
I'm currently busy with readying all kinds of stuff for the release, so 
I pushed the creation of a GUI back a bit. In the meantime, some command 
like this ran in the Terminal should work (reports appreciated):

sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb xxx /dev/sr0 /dev/sdYZ

(Z depends on whether your flash drive is partitioned or not and in the 
former case a number; it can be dropped in the latter.)
