fixation is a feature provided by cdfs.  it happens when you remove
wa/wd.  fixation depends on the type of media.

cdfs also deals with writing data or audio tracks.

9660srv serves 9660 file systems.  this doesn't have anything to do
with the storage media, so 9660srv will be able to serve an iso on
cd or in a ramfs.

mk9660 makes 9660 file systems that are directly writable to cdfs'
wd file.
