Not that I mind the patch to be included in libdvdcss but if you are using 
libdvdread, you'll have to do it in your plugin as well anyway because "X:
\" is a valid path as far as libdvdread is concerned.
libdvdread will try to open "X:" as a device but will open "X:\" as a DVD 
dump (eg. you've copied the content of a DVD on the root directory of an 
hard-drive), which is IMHO the expected way to do things.
