Richard,

There's a fair amount of output, and it differs depending upon the type
of disc. I think what we want would be in the "Free Blocks:" line which
seems to be common for all disc types. It's in units of 2KB blocks
rather than MB or GB.

Before you incorporate this in lieu of the sizing info in discspan.ini,
we need to identify what's causing overflows. I believe it's either an
error in the file size sorting algorithm, or some extra data being added
to the ISO image.
