The .list files we are talking about describe what files are in a CD image,
and in what order. They can be made with the `pi-makelist' script in the
Pseudo-Image Kit (Linux only). Read the Kit's README's for more info.

That doesn't help very much for making the .list files, as the file ordering
on the CD (physically!) tends to be different than the directory listing (even
unsorted). That's why pi-makelist uses the (included) `isoinfo' program that
examines the "raw" .iso file.
