+isomd5sum provides a way of making use of the ISO9660 application data
+area to store md5sum data about the iso. This allows you to check the
+iso given nothing more than the iso itself.
+
+A checksum is implanted in an image using the implantisomd5 utility,
+and the corresponding checkisomd5 utility can be used to verify burned
+CDs are error-free. Also included is a Python extension for performing
+these tasks.
