Yes, I started with cdrkit, but genisofs and wodim did not do everything 
we needed.
We're needing UDF support and while I like xorriso it also does not do 
everything we need.
I don't remember right off what all went wrong but it was with some 
reluctance that I returned to cdrtools
for the reasons you mention.  Jorg Shilly does seem to do things his own 
way....

OK, it was strange and I was not sure what the heck to do

I'm using an x86 host and target so it's easy to get them confused.
I'll look into this and the note below and try again
