For now i can say that it compiles on my elderly Debian GNU/Linux. But review might have to wait a few days, because i am not in good health and, as you described, the topic is tricky in the context of existing code in lib/iso9660. (Hopefully i am done for now with taking anti-vomit drugs. But i feel as if half of my brain and all my energy are missing.) > 2.

This is a bad example for users. If i were in better shape i would announce to change these programs. But for now i cannot promise anything. And i need to make an ISO with relocation by xorriso, were this is disabled by default. After all, i know of no operating system which cannot handle deep paths in ISO 9660. Have a nice day :) Thomas
