A careful reader poked me: Well, I didn't forget cdrecord(, -Pro-DVD,) 
star, smake / s-tools, maintaining mkisofs, etc etc etc ...
That's just beyond the scope of this mail.
My motivation has been, that I had made some noise about the x64/x86 
version of "my own" "distro".
Afterwards I would have felt bad w/o sending out this credits-message: 
Crediting somebody who really deserves it!
I find it important to symbolically thank the _right_ persons. 
SchilliX's achievements sometimes seem to go under, in today's fancy 
superficial world.
Despite the fact that they are still being used by the more frequently 
used/mentioned/praised distro.
Well, this reminds me of Indiana ...
So now that the jobs are done, "we" are going to shift to a different 
"model", where no external distros are desired anymore. That's how thank 
looks like.
