This started with some irritation with the cdrtools port and a bug in the HFS hybrid generation that was breaking PPC release CD generation. Switching these to depend on makefs in general speeds the release-building process and removes the number of dependencies involved, since makefs is built as part of base.

Ah, OK :)

That just sets the El Torito system type to 0 (x86), which is what IA64 
uses, as far as I can tell, and doesn't turn on any special magic like 
is done for the mac. I suppose while we're monkeying about with makefs, 
we could add an 'ia64' alias.
