One way to handle this could be to create two directories, one 
containing the input ISOs, the other the output ISOs.  Then 
{make,apply}deltaiso could take these two directories as arguments, 
instead of the names of single ISOs.  One would still have a single 
deltaiso file regardless of the number of input or output ISOs.  I 
suspect this would be a fairly simple change to the existing programs 
and could easily be implemented in time for F12.
