This is great news, Dave.  From the commit log:

  (cd9660 support for makefs was the senior project of Daniel Watt,
  Walter Deignan, Ryan Gabrys, Alan Perez-Rathke, and Ram Vedam, at
  the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, during the 2004-2005
  school year.  David Young of CUWiN sponsored this project.)

Please pass along my thanks to this team for their effort and thanks to
you for sponsoring/coordinating it.
