Multi session. :(

The theory is that multi session will eventually be supported by getting 
the disc structure back from a burnt yet open disc, using the normal 
functions to add more tracks to it, and then passing that back to libburn.

I'm not sure how the libisofs side will integrate, obviously some help is 
needed for linking to files from previous sessions.

No actual multi session burn code is written yet.  heh.

That's on my todo list as well, of course.

Of the big three, in terms of difficulty to implement, I'm expecting the 
order to be:
TAO, DVD, multi-session

And will probably do them in that order.
