You have surpassed my personal experience with this question. I'll be
more than happy to admit I'm mistaken if there is a better solution
available.

Hmmn, if man mount is up2date, linux mount can't do union mounts (but
does support a lot of other filesystems). At one stage I was trying to
achieve a similar result, and found that --bind and --move weren't what
I was after, then came across a description of union mounts. It sounds
very powerful, and would easily solve the problem of making all the RPMS
folder off 4 CDs appear to be in the one folder.

So, looks like the repodata on the DVD is will be the easiest method...
From a quick perusal of the primary.xml, location can be used to give
not just the current directory, but also a relative path:
<location xml:base="media://1137085374.184993#5"
href="Fedora/RPMS/xml-commons-apis-javadoc-1.0-0.b2.7jpp_4fc.i386.rpm"/>
I guess this means cd5 /Fedora/RPMS will be used.
Does anybody know if the href can be a relative path that includes up dirs:
eg: href="../../disc2/Fedora/RPMS/....rpm" ? Perhaps this would allow a
tool to generate an appropriate primary.xml with cd based mounted iso
images as the target.
