It's just not obviously documented (yet). We use the "PC/layout" script 
(run as "python PC/layout -h" to get arguments). You'll want at least 
--preset-embed and either --copy or --zip to specify where the layout is 
created.

It's semi-automated, but it's only triggered for releases and so it's 
not part of the normal CI configuration.

Hope that helps,
