Good idea.  I don't know right now of a good way to reference bsdtar,
but maybe we can extend the sample with something like:

     The bsdtar(1) utility can also be used to peek into ISO 9660 CD
     images, or even to ``extract'' files from them.

or would a reference like this be more appropriate to mount_cd9660(1),
in a part of the manpage which points to mdconfig(8) and bsdtar(1)?
