I patched dll/ntdll/cdrom.c in a quick and dirty way. To get it included  I
wanted to take one step after another. First the basis for the direct file
IO must be approved by Alexandre,

I have appended my ntdll/cdrom.c. It probably need some cleanup for the
IOCTLs for other systems then Linux. Feel free to use my approach, but I
guess your approach may look very similar... 

Bye
