Got fliff?

I've never really tried to mod Warband, so I'm ignorant on the subject. But, are those 8 armor/weapon slots hard coded into the game? Can they be added/removed? Also, I'm not sure if you have the tools available to have the game display 'x' armor model while getting the stats of 'y' armor.
A cRPG-esque upkeep system would work, but I'm sure they want to avoid copy-cat accusations
