Well, you're likely to hear a bit more from me, as I am planning to use 
part of libcdio in a Windows application that creates USB bootable 
drives [1], and I want to add a feature that allows the conversion of 
ISO images, such as the Windows installation media, to bootable USB.

I've made some good progress [2], but I must admit that the integration 
of libcdio wasn't as smooth as I had hoped... mostly because I didn't 
read the note that said that MinGW and Visual C weren't exactly 
supported by libcdio at the moment ;)

Currently I'm at a stage where MSVC, MinGW (32+64) and WDK are producing 
the same results at long last, but it will probably take a little while 
(and some re-factoring/cleanup) before I can start feeding back some 
proper patches.
