Custom Hybrid CD Construction Kit

A hybrid CD is a CD-ROM that has both a Mac and a Windows file system, so that it looks like a Mac CD when mounted on a Mac and looks like a Windows CD when mounted on a Windows machine. A custom hybrid CD is one in which the two file systems present somewhat different sets of files. Mac OS X makes it easy to burn a hybrid CD, but not a custom hybrid CD. This kit helps you construct custom hybrid CDs.

This version contains a workaround for a bug in Apple's command line program hdiutil in Tiger.

There are a couple of other known bugs in hdiutil that I'm waiting for Apple to fix:

In the Joliet format, commas get deleted from file names.
If you try to save space on the Mac side using hard links, it won't work.
