If you would like to take a look at my current snapshot, I have placed
a copy at ftp://www.inconnect.com/users/a/andersen/CD-include-patch.gz
The real meat of the CD include file reorg is now done. I have most
of the documentation updated correctly, but I have probably missed a
few minor documentation things. I have tested this against 2.1.47
and compiled _all_ of the cdrom drivers successfully. Expect something
about like this soon in a development kernel near you.

Please note that to apply this patch you will want to use the "-E"
option to patch to remove empty files. The general plan I am working
on here is the grand unification of all cdrom stuff. Please let me
know what you think, and give it a whirl. Comments, suggestions,
and patches, are VERY welcome.

-Erik
