Thanks for following up on this ng0. I've finally got around to looking
at Xfburn again and I've now pushed these 4 patches.

I ammended the commit message for the last one to add that the removed
inputs are not referenced by the output (before removing them), which
makes me more confident that something isn't breaking. As xorriso was
changed, I also ran the iso-image-installer test, and that passed.

Thanks again,

Chris
