[Libcdio-devel] --enable-cpp-progs and removal of exposed driver enumerations

[Rocky Bernstein]

If I recall correctly, the feeling was that packagers wanted smaller
distributions and/or don't want the C++ code. This is why --enable-cpp-progs
by default is disabled. One of the major proponents of this point of
view<http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2007/11/17/a-bunch-of-silly-c-libraries>is
Flameeyes.

But if it is enabled yes, I guess it would be a bug if the pkgconfig files
are not installed.

If you could work up a patch to fix this, that'd be fantastic. Thanks.

While on the topic of distributions and changes, I should note that the git
repository now has work done by Nicolas Boullis to reduce fture ABI breakage
and corrects an API misfeature.

However should I have misrepresented things (and it is not uncommon for me
to get things wrong), I hope others will speak up and correct me.
