It creates a struct burn_source* that can be used to write a ISO9660
volume. It only supports single volumes and it doesn't support Joliet.
However, it has full Rock Ridge support (symbolic links, directory
relocation, etc.). libisofs/test.c creates a Rock Ridge .iso file that
should successfully mount (with permissions, links, etc. preserved).

I've also made it easy to add support for other extensions that use the
System Use Sharing Protocol. I'm not sure if there are any worthwhile
ones, apart from Rock Ridge, though. It's also designed so that Joliet
shouldn't be too hard.

If nobody else steps up, I would be happy to do this. I'm pretty
familiar with the current state of libisofs and I've already read
billions of pages of all the standards documents...

Cheers,
Joe
