ISO9660 + Apple Extensions may be useful enough in its own right that
we should add it, and it will be easiest, besides.  If it does not get
us near to booting, I guess that one may as well start writing an HFS
option for makefs.

Neither have I.  I suppose it is possible that mac68k needs a HFS/ISO9660
hybrid, also.
