   libdvdread needs some extra magic to guess that e: is a drive name.

   It's libdvdread which needs fixing (in dvdread/dvd_reader.c). I
used to have a local patch for this, but I somewhat lost sync with the
libdvdread CVS so it is pretty useless as is, but I'll eventually get
it together again. But I think anyone can patch libdvdread so that it
recognizes "[a-zA-Z]:" as a drive name.
