Summary: add DVD+RW tools

Initial Comment:
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/tools/

What are the dvd+rw-tools for?  
A.  As implied/already mentioned - to master the DVD 
media, both +RW/+R and -R[W]. I could simply refer to 
the tutorial below, but figured that couple of words 
about the [original] design ideas behind growisofs, the 
principal burning utility, wouldn't harm. Even though a 
modified kernel can let you put for example an ext2 file 
system on DVD+RW, it's probably not very practical, 
because you most likely want to access the data on an 
arbitrary computer. Or in other words you most likely 
want ISO9660. The trouble is that you might as well 
want to add data now and then. And what options do 
you have in the lack of multiple sessions (no, DVD+RW 
has no notion of multiple sessions)? Complete re-
mastering which takes more and more time as data set 
grows? Well, yes, unless you employ growisofs! 
Growisofs provides the way to both lay down and grow 
an ISO9660 file system on (as well as to burn an 
arbitrary pre-mastered image to) all supported DVD 
media.
