Attached find a patch to the original sources which will follow symlinks from the 'device name' line in /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info.

It assumes that device names listed in the 'drive name' section of /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info exist in /dev. If this is wrong, then this patch will break portability somewhere.

This allows the -X option to once again work on the current kernel in Hardy.
