Synopsis: mkisofs gets signal 6 if some options are not supplied

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: jkh
State-Changed-When: Wed Oct 2 06:03:10 PDT 1996
State-Changed-Why: 
This is not actually a bug as the calls to abort() are intentional - they're
deliberately flagging the fatal lack of a required argument.  Admittedly,
this constitues rather crude error checking and should almost certainly
be implemented differently, but then that's true for all of mkisofs given
that the whole thing needs a rewrite badly.  I'm going to close this as
a "feature" and comment that anyone wishing to rewrite mkisofs more than
has my blessing to do so.
