I'm not against allowing udf, but we should probably use iso9660 unless
the size forces us to need udf just to avoid problems on as many systems
as we can.
So something that checked the size of the mksquashfs and switched automatically
between the two and emitting a message about this could be acceptable?
I don't really know python yet, so I may not be able to easily change
my previous patch to do that, but want to check before going down that road.
I think having access to teh extra space will be nice for the Games Spin as
things are pretty tight right now and a few hundred MB would be nice to have.
