You still confuse people by publishing a file called "mkisofs-1.13.tar.gz" that
does not match the checksum from the original at:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/mkisofs/old/mkisofs-1.13.tar.gz
Please remove this file from ftp.gnu.org.

Mkisofs supports large files for the file system image since 9 years.
Claiming that you added this now does not look like a valid statement.
