How about a patch to mkhybrid?  I was just writing a script to automate
this when somebody passed me Troy B.'s patch to mkhybrid (which is the
correct place to put this support).  It supports multiple boot images (up
to four) with no problem.  Note: do not give it a symlink to your boot
image!  It screws the absolute offset calculation which cost me many hours
before I realized what was happening.  Also, there is a bug which causes
fwrite to fail on certain sized smaller isofs's (haven't found the exact
pattern yet).

I've attach the patch to this message.
