Well, I have UDF write support. I did have to built a kernel from source
to get it (just tick it in the "FileSystems" section of the config).

Then:
	- mkudf an empty UDF filesystem image of the desired size
	- mount it:
		mkdir /mnt/my-udf-dir
		mount -t udf -o loop the-udf-image-file /mnt/my-udf-dir
		copy, etc etc
		umount /mnt/my-udf-dir

Works just fine!
