1) do those bsd flavours define a common token? e.g. like __bsd__ or
__BSD__?

2) do all BSD's have the same scsi interface? e.g. does libdvd work for all?

no, I'm only making use of GNU/Linux SEND_CDROM_PACKET ioctl(), by sending
MMC/ATAPI commands... no need to use the scsi interface...

my local working copy has already a vcd_image_bsdcd.c module...
--cdrom-device will map to the cdrom driver available for the actual
architecture...

np, btw, I'll need your help, to test and fix the vcdimager cvs-version
when the vcd_image_bsdcd.c is checked against bsd header files...

I'll check it in later tonight...
