Um, the reason I included the mkisofs bits was that I was talking
about the discussion of the parsing of the source directories
information provided to mkisofs... What will "file1 dir1 dir2 file2
dir3" do when it does something more intuitive than it does now.

Editors are a religious thing. Many of us are going to do something
religious over the holidays, I'm going to take a week of vacation I've
been saving since about 1995 and pray that nothing breaks at work ;-)
The Beetle engine is probably like the old cheapest Porches, which used
parts from the "bug" engine. Nasty bugger to reassemble without a
factory engine stand or the low budget alternative, the very strong
friend. Then the owner ran out of money and didn't want to pay us unless
we installed it for free. After we told him WHERE we were going to
install it he found money somewhere.
Best of luck with it all.
