There seems to be contradicting information from some Sun people.... Some tell
me that there is no time to integrate star as deviced four years ago in
PSARC-2004/480 and others seem to have free time to integrate unneeded software.

The scripts for cdda2wav are old and unmaintained and this is why they are
included in the original but not installed by default.
The helpers for mkisofs in wodim are of course as unmaintained as the rest
of the code from Debian :-(
I mentioned several times before that they are missing to no avail....
Taking tose programs from wodim means:
- No UTF-8 support as with the rest of wodim
- No large file support as in old versions of mksiofs found on wodim
- No fix for coverity scan bugs.
- Dead "project" as with the rest from wodim.
