Is it the case? I never set the region of DVD drives and they seem to
work just fine... including external USB drives.. I think most
manufacturers pre-set the region on the units they sell.

Manually created how? If there is a way to "manually create" a key for
short titles, maybe it's a good idea to just fix libdvdcss so that it
can generate he same?

Also it's trivial to copy the key around with base64, even when it's
stored as binary.
