Is this ok in one patch or should it be split up in one tool(set) per patch?
I will probably add tools for [v2].
syslinux (6.04) and genisoimage (1.1.11) so far.

I just took the version number of my system, but it's not the way to do this.
I'm open to suggestions for the version numbers itself or for a approach in general.

Thanks
Manuel
