24 Worked fine here. I think it would be ok to patch xcdroast (or can we
25 set some configure/compile-time flag to remove this check?)
26
27 I don't *think* it'll break the burning in the middle, it's probably to
28 ensure that flags are there and such, so we could always remove our
29 patch if versions of cdrecord start showing up that isn't supported.
