	Actualy, I believe that the mkisofs maintainer should have seen that a 
new option was created and notified the maintainers of anything that depended 
on mkisofs, IF the change was something that broken compatibility with 
backwards versions of mkisofs.

	At least this is what *I* would have done if I were the maintainer of 
mkisofs....
