Keeping my feedback promise:

mkisofs seems to have no problems making the required depth CDROM
(it contains a really deep source tree).

I had to fix 2 things to make it (also) run on the DEC Unix box:

- cast the returned pointer of e_malloc() to the right type
- rename a number of directories from .adm (note the .) to something
  not starting with a leading .
  It just silently leaves out the .adm subtree... (??)
  A look into the name-rebuild part of the mkisofs source made me
  decide to take the easy 'mv' route ;-)
