Here's an analogy.

We could be talking about software development and compilers.  But
compilers also require linkers to get anything done.  Although you can
mix'n match compilers and linkers, they are typically designed to be
compatible with each other, and part of the same project.

If someone forks off a compiler, they may or may not fork off the
linker, depending on changes.  That forked compiler may or may not need
a new linker, it might be able to use the original project's.  But if it
does need linker changes, then the linker is also modified, and now part
of that forked project.

So what I was asking about is what is currently the "best" mkisofs from
"what" cdrecord project/fork/release for doing UDF.  That's all.
Because mkisofs is developed right alongside cdrecord/cdrecord-ProDVD by
Jorg, and may or may not have a forked version with modifications for
the dvdrecord or cdrecord+DVDpatch forks.

That's all dude!  ;->

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
