I know the default behaviour of mkisofs (leaving out the dir/ and put all
dir/* in the root directory of the CD.

For consistency with:

>I would expect after mounting the CD:
>mount CDdev mountpoint
>
>:> ls mountpoint
>dir1
>dir2
>file

> mkisofs -o /tmp/xxx dir/ 

would have to produce:

:> ls mountpoint
dir


> mkisofs -o /tmp/xxx apath/dir1/ apath/dir2/ apath/file ....

explicitly specified path.... keeping the full path would ruin the
possibility to include different dirs from different paths.

I see you point/problem there.

Would an option like -C for tar be possible? 

In tar I can Do something like:

tar -cvf archive.tar /path/to/dir

or 

tar -cvf archive.tar -C /path/to  dir

There I can decide if I want the path or not.

I'm not sure how tar hanldes multiple "-C path dir" options.


But I personally never had a big problem with the original version as well. I
just had to remember to make dir including everything to be burned. If I
didn't want to copy it links (with the mkiso option to follow) would do
nicely.
