ISO9660 support.  The iso9660 volume label only supports uppercase letters and 
underscore.  While I was at it I removed the "-image" suffix because it's an 
implementation detail and it's really not an image once it's burned to a real 
CD / written to a real USB stick etc.  Then I removed the "-disk" suffix 
because volume labels are not on a disk but on individual partitions.  Then it 
was just "gnu" and I thought that was too generic.  So here we are :-)
