hi,

all but macppc and mac68k have been switched to makefs for creating
bootable install CDs recently.  We are in the process of proposing a
Google Summer of Code project to add the missing features to makefs.

macppc uses mkisofs's -hfs option to create a hybrid (HFS/ISO9660)
image, whereas mac68k uses -appple to use Apple Extensions to ISO9660.
Since -apple is considerably less effort, my question is if that would
suffice for macppc as well, or if it really needs a hybrid image.
