ISO-9660 volume. We call the "iso tree" to the file hierarchy that will be
written to image. The image context, IsoImage, holds that tree, together with
configuration options and other properties of the image, that provide info
about the volume (such as the identifier, author, etc...).

All configuration options and volume properties are set by its corresponding

To create an image, you have to follow the following steps:
* Obtain the image context.
See "1.2 Image context" for details of how to obtain the IsoImage.
* Set the desired properties
* Prepare the iso tree with the files you want to add to image.
See "2.1 Image tree manipulation" for details
* Select the options for image generation.

* Recursive directory addition.
[TODO]
One common use case is to add a local directory to the image. While this can
be done with iso_tree_add_node(), handling the addition of directory children
in the application, libisofs provides a function suitable for this case:
iso_tree_add_dir_rec()
that takes care of adding all files inside a directory, recursing on directory
children. By default, this function adds all children. However, it is usual
that you don't want really this. For example, you may want to exclude some
kind of files (backup files, application sockets,...). Libisofs provides
several functions to customize the behavior of that function:
- iso_tree_set_follow_symlinks()
- iso_tree_set_ignore_hidden()
- iso_tree_set_ignore_special()
- iso_tree_add_exclude()
