Creating an HFS CD image with mkisofs isn't that hard, I burn almost all
of my data CDs as ISO9660+Rock Ridge+Joliet+HFS. The main thing you need
to do is add "-hfs" to your mkisofs arguments. You'll probably also want
to add an argument to tell mkisofs how your file is stored so that it
will know how to handle any resource forks and type/creator codes that
go with it. The mkisofs man page has a long section describing all the
HFS-related options, but those are the only ones you really need.
