SecuRom investigation

[Martin Owen]

Currently it seems to create drives based on directory locations, but
there is no way of specifying what kind of drive it appears to be to
windows. perhaps this would help games identify the cdrom drive and
some games install of multiple discs. I can't help but feel wine has
no support for cd drives and depends on the file system in linux to do
the leg work.
