Mkisofs supports RockRidge and TransTables which together resolve all of
the above issues for *nix machines, although DOS systems don't get the
full benefit of RockRidge extentions because of its ignorance of them. I
always use the -R and -T options when I build an image and the resultant
CD comes out just fine.
