Microsoft created Joliet to make things incompatible, and Apple did something
else.  The last time I had to make a CD with long filenames for multi OS use
(Windows and Solaris) I had to use a special piece of software (mkhybrid).
Perhaps things have changed since then?

Apple wants a partition type "HFS" which is their disk system. Having one • makes
your CDROM appear natively: icons, window placement, file type/creator codes
all that stuff is embedded in HFS directories. Many hybrid CDs (games) have
separate HFS and ISO-9660 dirs, and the Mac user sees the HFS first, or
sometimes both.

Yes, HFS, that's it.  A search for "HFS", "rock ridge", and "joliet" turns
up several GUI tools for making hybrid CD filesystems such as the ones at
www.cdeverywhere.com and www.cdr.com.  I've personally only used the command
line tool mkhybrid, which apparently is tough to track down on the internet.
Has anyone had any success with the GUI tools?
