xorriso can produce a .jigdo and a .template file together with a
single-session ISO image.
The .jigdo file contains checksums and file download addresses.
The .jigdo file contains checksums and symbolic file addresses.
The .template file contains the compressed ISO image with reference tags
instead of the content bytes of the listed files.

Input for this process are the normal arguments for a xorriso session
on a blank -outdev, and a .md5 file which lists those files which shall be
on a blank -outdev, and a .md5 file which lists those data files which may be
listed in the .jigdo file and externally referenced in the .template file.
Each desired file is represented in the .md5 file by a single text line:

The file address in an .md5 line has to bear the same basename as the
absolute disk_path of the file which it shall match. The directory path of
disk_path of the file which it shall match. The directory path of
the file address is decisive for To=From mapping, not for file recognition.
After eventual To=From mapping, the file address gets written into the .jigdo
file. Jigdo restore tools will convert these addresses into really
reachable data source addresses from which they can read.
