I'm Iooking for the current gtk/gio/gnome "best practice" for working with 
CD/DVD's... In particular, figuring out how much stuff I can cram onto one, and 
then cramming it on.

There's a whole bunch of different disk sizes, formats, filesystem options, 
filesystem limitations, etc., and I need to know for a given disk exactly how 
much space I have to use, and for that matter, exactly how much space a given 
set of files will take, so that I can pack on as much of my data set as 
physically possible.

I would like to be able to "sample" a blank disk to gets its size/etc., then 
based on user selection of various features and options, figure out how much 
space I have to work with, how I need to package the data set (along with its 
simple browser and support files), and then build and burn off the image (or 
more likely images, because it won't fit on one disk).

Any help would be appreciated.  I've been putting off this job while, because I 
really don't know where to look.  Everything I've found so far points to 
re-inventing a lot of existing wheels, which I'd really rather avoid, mostly 
because I don't really know what I'm doing.
