I'm just going to always add them to disc1 and disc2.  I've renamed livefs to 
livefs.iso, so it won't have one, but I'll make a disc2 tree in R that just 
has an appropriate cdrom.inf file and probably deprecate CD_EXTRA_BITS in 
favor of a CD_PKG_TREE that points to the output of 'make package-split' and 
has the disc1 and disc2 subdirs under it so the isos will join the two sets 
of disc1 and disc2 trees.
