I have a desktop with Apple CD/RW+DVDROM and generic DVD+/-RW DL drive, and a laptop with Apple DVD+/-RW drive. Just send or post patches somewhere and I'll take a look. I suggest starting by looking at some of the various distro patches, IIRC some of them have already make significant cleanups. > Matthias, can you give me a hand with this?

Both allow you to maintain an unstable and highly variable stack of patches based off a more stable branch, from which some patches percolate down into stable occasionally. Good luck with this!
