Hm... what type is "fs-image" - ISO9660, or is UFS allowed too?
For the latter case, it may be interesting to add the functionality to 
makefs(8).

For the former case... it would be very nice to add creation of 
ISO-filesystems to makefs(8) too, then add this on top. ;)
(== rewrite mkisofs!)

Until that is done, I guess a seperate program is ok, but I'm not really 
an authoritative source in that area (as if i were anywhere...)
