Well, I once was thinking about support for this in NetBSD's cd9660, but
discovered that the there is no easy support for this, as the "file sections"
can be of arbitrary lengths, e.g. the first 3 sections could be 3 bytes each.
Which means that you cannot easily convert a file offset to a block number
and vice versa.  However, the fs independent code in NetBSD assumes in various
places that it _can_ do this conversion without the help of fs dependent code.

Ciao,
