[libbluray-devel] Request: Add ISO support

[Mark]

Oke, that is indeed better, but then the question becomes: is libbluray
going to support libarchive :-)
I can imagine that supporting .iso sounds obvious (it does to me) but
supporting .tar or .7z or whatever is a lot less obvious to contain a blu
ray folder. iso files are mostly an image of cd/dvd/blu-ray/...
