Yes, it really works! And this is how I test cloop before doing a new 
remastered Knoppix:

# mount -o loop Knoppix.iso  /mnt
# modprobe cloop
# losetup /dev/cloop0 /mnt/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
# mount /dev/cloop0 /mnt
mount: block device /dev/cloop0 is write-protected, mounting read-only


# umount /mnt
# losetup -d /dev/cloop0
# umount /mnt


Thank you Max! I compiled it with 2.6.27.3-libre source.

Btw, I hope Klaus has some extra time to get this fixed and doing a new 
cloop source. Perhaps following warning can also be fixed (cloop modules 
compiled with Debian testing make-kpkg system):

config.status: creating config.h
make[4]: Siirrytään hakemistoon 
"/usr/src/modules/cloop-2.625/advancecomp-1.15"
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.     -g -O2 -DUSE_ERROR_SILENT 
-DUSE_COMPRESS -pthread -c -o advfs.o ../advfs.cc
../advfs.cc: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
../advfs.cc:827: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 
‘char*’
