!!! Next version of Xcdroast coming in a few weeks will support 
largefiles !!!

I did some tests with cdrecord-proDVD and Xcdroast and it worked well, 
except that the GUI isn't capable to display ISOz bigger than 2 Gbyte yet.

But Thomas Niederreiter will add the largefile support in next version.
