There were a couple more problems I found.  Appending the list of RPMs
for disk 1 to the mkisofs command gives it too many arguments, and it
quits.  I dumped the list of rpms to a file in $work_dir, and used the
-path-list flag to get those files included.  This finally lead to
mkcd.pl succeeding.  Unfortunately the resulting ISO was about 820MB,
somewhat larger than my 80 minute CDs.

I'm also concerned that mkcd.pl dosen't seem to work right under
Mandrake 7.2, because rpm2header uses librpmio, and rpmtools.pm had
some issue or other I forgot.  After all... if I were running cooker,
under which these work fine, I could have used MandrakeUpdate, or
whatever the automatic updater of choice is today (rpmdrake won't let
me add package repositories, and seems sullenly useless right now).
