The Curse of Monkey Island turned out to be a great example. Both discs
have some files in common like COMI.LA0, however, when mounted with the
default options, it appears upper-cased on the first disc but
lower-cased on the second. Why? The second disc doesn't use Joliet as
all the filenames have the old 8.3 format. Linux normalises these to
lower-case. The first disc does use Joliet because of a single file,
"Curse of Monkey Island - Manual.pdf" so all the other 8.3 filename are
left as upper-case by Linux.

This eclass previously used "find -iname" but it only checked the file
case-insensitively and not the directories. There is "find -ipath" but
this does not intelligently skip non-matching paths, making it
slow. Globbing is used here instead.
The : character has always been used to delimit paths
This works around the lack of per-set disc names. Once the first disc
has been detected, ebuilds can adjust CDROM_NAMES to contain just the
names from the matched CDROM_SET.

been upgraded step by step to 23. /bin, /lib, /lib64, and /sbin are
symlinks but I'm pretty sure it didn't start out that way. I knew the
change was coming but when it actually happened, I didn't notice for
quite a while.
