Description of problem:
mkisofs uses default permissions when building UDF filesystems. This
causes problems for me, since I need to be able to set the executable
bit on some files. I worked around this with the attached patch. Is
there any way that this patch or something similar could end up in
future releases?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mkisofs-2.01-0.a27.4.FC2.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir /tmp/cdimage
2. touch /tmp/cdimage/noexec
3. touch /tmp/cdimage/exec
4. chmod +x /tmp/cdimage/exec
5. mkisofs -o /tmp/out.udf --udf -V mervid -graft-points /=/tmp/cdimage
6. mkdir -p /mnt/temp
7. mount -oro,loop -tudf /tmp/out.udf /mnt/temp
8. ls -l /mnt/temp
    

Actual Results:  -r--r--r--  1 4294967295 4294967295 0 Jul 20 19:14 exec
-r--r--r--  1 4294967295 4294967295 0 Jul 20 19:14 noexec


Expected Results:  -r-xr-xr-x  1 root root 0 Jul 20 19:15 exec
-r--r--r--  1 root root 0 Jul 20 19:15 noexec


Additional info:

This was already a documented bug in mkisofs. The author mentions that
using the Rock Ridge attributes would be a viable workaround. I
decided to avoid this and just do another lstat on the files; the Rock
Ridge attributes don't seem to be present when the -R option isn't used.

I still use the dummy uid, gid, and modes for the root directory. I
don't know what to stat in most cases.

The disclaimers on the man should also be updated.
