Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Kommunist.

Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.

Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten,
habe ich nicht protestiert;
ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.

Als sie die Juden holten,
habe ich nicht protestiert;
ich war ja kein Jude.

Als sie mich holten,
gab es keinen mehr, der protestierte.

Do not be quiet when people try to act against OSS.

And you know that I don't like it for several reasons:

1)	It is not portable - cdrtools work anywhere.

2)	By writing a library, it ignores usual privilige rules
	and thus makes portability impossible.

In addition, mkisofs supports a lot more features than your code
and it is not easy to replace mkisofs.

It would be better if authors are standing together against agressors
and if not everybody tries to invent his own wheel.

Collaboration is much more productive.
