[SLL] mkisofs vs an image with a single file

[John W. Baxter]

It terminate with a newline.  Not sure it makes any difference, but the
first thing I checked.

HOWEVER, I've performed "further review" and indeed the single file *is*
represented in the image.  Sorry for the noise.

For some reason, however, it is represented as a symlink, not as a file.
Not very handy when the goal is to record the file onto a CD.  Other files
are represented as files, not symlinks.  Ah, now the "some reason" is also
obvious...the path I'm giving IS a symlink.

All problems solved (except how to avoid the problem in our Python code).

Sorry for the list noise!
