You are correct, the genisoimage program is a fork from a very old
version of mkisofs. Enhancements and bugfixes done during the past 3 years are
not available in the clone. Instead, new bugs have been added by the 
maintainers.

Be careful: genisoimage claims to support larger files but the created 
filesystem images are broken. Mkisofs did add support for files > 4 GB 
aprox. 2 years ago. Mkisofs added support for importing multi-session
files > 4 GB from old sessions in May 2008.
