'mount -o loop' is in fact what I'd do myself if I were doing this
manually; I'd only fall back to xorriso / orrisox if I needed to script
or otherwise automate the process.

(Automating it using 'mount -o loop' would only work if run as root,
AFAICT, and that's not a good idea for an automated process with
possibly-untrusted input. I wouldn't do it if I had any choice in the
matter.)
