mkcd use recursive argument list options, that is to say that mkcd -c is not
the same as mkcd -a -c, because, if you look at the help, mkcd -h gives:

[mandrake@ken bin]$ /c/cooker/misc/MakeCD   
mkcd: 

usage
            mkcd <options>
            mkcd Mandrake Linux Disc maker

            options:

                --addmd5 <iso file>
                        Add md5sum to iso header.

                [...]

                -a, --auto [options] <repository> <extra RPMS directory 1> <extra RPMS 
directory 2> ... <extra RPMS directory n>
                        Automated mode, build discs from a repository.
                -b, --builddir <build dir>
                        Where live iso image are created (default current dir).
                -c, --catto <log file>
                        Log file.
                -d, --depslist-creation 

-c is to create a log file. If you check -a, -a can accept options,
which means that you can get extra help with mkcd -a -h

[mandrake@ken bin]$ /c/cooker/misc/MakeCD -a -h

ERROR auto: h not enough argument

usage
            auto <repository> <extra RPMS directory 1> <extra RPMS directory 2> ... 
<extra RPMS directory n>
            Auto mode configuration

            options:

                --noisolinux 
                        Do not use a isolinux boot
                -c, --cd <number of discs>
                        Max number of discs
                -h, --help <path> <to> <the> <function>
                        Display help, eg. auto -h option_X suboption_Y.
                -s, --sources 
                        Create SRPMS discs too

Here -c is used to limit Max number of discs.

--auto is for basic ISO creation, whatever non standard you want to do is aimed
to be achieved with a configuration file.
