* Invent an interpreter to read options from config files and sets the variables
or use confget ( http://devel.ringlet.net/textproc/confget/ )
OR BETTER YET TRY TO DROP the entire concept of config files and
rely solely on cmdline options.
* Write a common configuration facility.
* Expose ldd and --version of tested binary just once.
* Also support 'run_all_releng /path/to/xorriso [-keep]'
i.e. without the need to install config files in place.
* Merge 'merge_into_isocontent' into 'releng_isocontent' (former hardlinks)
Extend it to use some more demanding directory tree.
MD5s should be checked. ACLs and xattr (if we are on Linux).
All file types as of stat(2) should be tested.
* Also check trivial operations like --devices, etc.
* Split off common functionality in common ./lib/ so it can be re-used
by all scripts. This might include cmdline option parsing, some
validation code like releng_isocontent:is_valid_iso9660
* We need to give a hint about how much storage space will be consumed.
* We could mark all own stderr messages by a prefix like "===".
* Burning tests ideas/thoughts by Thomas:
> There will have to be a warning and user input before we load
> the drive tray. -dev, -indev, -oudev do this loading which can
> cause finger injury, psychical trauma, and chuting computers.

> Further if we want to have a burn test (with MD5 and checkreading)
> then we will need configuration means to enable this. By default
> it should not risk to burn one-time media which sit in the drive
> by mere accident.
