Well I've yet to work out how to use diff with svn.
(A diff file would probably make changing this more difficult since it's 
only one bit to add...)
Anyhow, the change is now:

In gui/wxwidgets/open.cpp
After the lines (Line 710):

    wxStaticText *label = new wxStaticText( panel, -1, wxU(_("Device name")) 
);
    disc_device = new wxTextCtrl( panel, DiscDevice_Event, wxT(""),
                                  wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
                                  wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER);

Add the lines:

#ifdef WIN32
    if (1)
    {
        char psz_default_device[3] = {0};

        // find the drive_name for the first cdrom drive, which is probably 
"D:"...
        // and put the drive_name into psz_default_device...
        for (char drive_letter = 'A'; drive_letter <= 'Z'; ++drive_letter) {
            char drive_name[3] = {drive_letter, ':', 0};
            UINT type = GetDriveType(drive_name);
            if (type == DRIVE_CDROM) {
                psz_default_device[0] = drive_letter;
                psz_default_device[1] = ':';
                break;
            }
        }


        if( strlen(psz_default_device) > 0 ) {
            if (disc_device) disc_device->SetValue( 
wxL2U(psz_default_device) );
        }
    }
#endif

So suppose this might be a point of a pointless addition
if the MRL of dvd:// would cause libdvdcss to play the first dvd drive it 
finds.

But if this is added it'll be great because I won't have to keep changing it 
to E: anymore... :)
