Unslung 4 carrot: DVD and CD support confirmed

To get more advanced users onto Unslung 4.3 alpha:

DVD and CD's can now be mounted. They can be shared using diversion script
to pacth smb.conf on boot.

Brief description:

Build with modules cdrom.o, sr_mod.o and isofs.o, insmod them on boot, hook
up you external dvd/cd and mount read-only to the mount point of your
desire. Performance on my old NEC 1100A DVD write is acceptable
(DVD+RW@6MB/s). These modules will be in the next alpha.

I have not yet tried writing and backing up to it. My budget is tight, so I
can't afford to mess up that many DVDs.

Word of warning: I have not yet gotten an external hub to work with Unslung
4.3, so I had to wait a long time to get DVD/CD tested. Luckily I managed to
hook up the printer somewhere else, so I freed up the second USB port.

best,

-- Inge
