No, mkisofs does not "come from cdrecord", it is shipped packaged up
with Jörg's cdrecord in the cdrtools package, as you show above. They're
independent programs.

????? Excuse me, but that's nonsense. Cdrecord (and related) don't "use"
mkisofs (you could argue this about growisofs, but you were specifically
talking about cdrecord). You're free to use any burning (cdrecord,
growisofs, kernel patches, ...) and mastering programs (mkisofs, mke2fs,
...) in any combination, there's no interdependency.
