Actually, it does generate a `filesystem' which you can then use the
VN driver to mount as a virtual CD of sorts; I used this to inspect
the 2.0.5R CDROM image before ever burning it to gold.

Furthermore, if we ever got a read/write CD9660 filesystem working,
one could even "hot-patch" the image generated, doctoring it up a bit
before finally taking the image and whapping it onto CD.  That would
be neat.  Any interest out there?
