enumeration is not possible anymore... we should now have
/dev/cdrom-{devname}
I hadn't realized my processor wasn't able to count anymore. I'm not
sure I want to upgrade to fc5 if it can't do basic arithmetic. Or
testing whether symlink(2) returns -EEXIST in a loop.
Someone could explain me the point of /dev/cdrom-{devname} when you
can use /dev/{devname} directly?
