Does anyone who is Mac saavy have ideas on the best way to accomplish cdrom 
detection in wineprefixcreate across Mac OSX and *nix platforms?

Aren't we doing this already?

No, we aren't. I have to setup the cdrom drive manually on every distro I've 
tried. Wineprefixcreate only sets up the C:\ and Z:\ drives, no cdrom drives 
are configured.

# Create the drive symlinks

if [ ! -d "$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices" ]
then
    mkdir "$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices"
    [ -d "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c" ] || mkdir "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c"
    ln -s "../drive_c" "$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/c:"
    ln -s "/" "$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/z:"
fi

CROOT="$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/c:"

It's not being detected from wineprefixcreate but from explorer. That's
where HAL interaction is taking place.

Does Explorer first need the drives to be created in dosdevices with 
wineprefix in order to detect them properly?

HAL as in HALd/dbus?  So on systems without HALd/dbus (stock Slackware
systems), the CD's will never be autodetected?  Cause I'm having the
same issue, but it's never been much of a bother to me..
