[Libcdio-devel] Hindsight is 2020 - Let's sort multiextents at last

[Pete Batard]

Hi,

Now that we are at a stage where that can happen, please be aware that I 
have created new branch 'pragmatic-multiextent-2020', in the hope that 
it can be merged into master.

If you recall the discussions from a couple years ago, there was debate 
about what approach we wanted to go with, but *my understanding* [1] is 
that we eventually settled on going with preserving only the API with 
the approach called "pragmatic"...

Considering that the "pragmatic" approach is what I am finalizing usage 
for in Rufus, and that I would obviously like to be able to pick future 
libcdio improvements, I do have a strong vested interest in seeing it 
finally merged into mainline.

Therefore, I have updated the old 'pragmatic-multiextent' into a 
'pragmatic-multiextent-2020' branch that I am kindly asking to review, 
in order to decide if we feel that this is something we want to finally 
merge.

It needs to be noted that only the last commit from this branch pertains 
to multiextent, with earlier commits being various fixes and 
improvements (some from Thomas) that I think we want to apply to 
mainline regardless.

Regards,

/Pete
