-* Invent an interpreter to read options from config files and sets the variables

-  OR BETTER YET TRY TO DROP the entire concept of config files and
-  rely solely on cmdline options.
 
-* Write a common configuration facility.
+* Expose xorriso --version of tested binary just once.
-
-* 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.
+* Also check as many as possible trivial operations like:
-  
+  xorriso --devices
-* Split off common functionality in common ./lib/ so it can be re-used
+  xorriso -indev file.iso -pvd_info
-  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 "===".
