Description
The IMG file generated by Discohawk usually matches a BIN file from a raw dump of a disc, thus it can also be used with a cuesheet. I'd like to suggest that a cuesheet also be generated for _hawked files. Having the cue/img (bin) pair will allow us to use https://github.com/putnam/binmerge, for example.
I'd also like to suggest support for BlindWrite images (BWI/BWT/BWS).

Research direction
Start by locating Discohawk's existing CCD/IMG generation and the handling of _hawked files. Read how image metadata is represented, then determine where cuesheet output and BlindWrite BWI/BWT/BWS input would fit. Done means generating a usable cue/img pair and supporting the requested BlindWrite image formats, with validation against the existing image workflow.
