Yes it should be. Karl? Are you still here? Do you do the change?
I suppose that it is somewhere in the mkisofs otpions hidden. I don't
see it in tl-update-images, so I suppose that this is a local 
config file for mkisofs.

Where is that file? I cannot find it anywhere in the svn texlive checkout!

Yeah the context warnings are harmless, but we cannot do anything against 
that.

The mpost warnings should be gone.
