s/mkisofs/makefs/, which is part of NetBSD -> always, for the named 
platforms. I don't know if there's demand for bootable kernel-only ISOs 
for other platforms. If so, we have to see if makefs can create 
appropriate bootable floppies - right now it's unfortunately not a 100% 
replacement for mkisofs.

Some larger framework than my work will have to in include this work.
E.g. I'd like to see a hook to run something in some directory _after the 
full build_, so we can make a bootable install-CD (i.e. including the 
sets).
