Updated src patches are available at https://github.com/waitman/UDF

Curiously on the xfce4 desktop I now get a little icon of a disc that is
'named' the title of the Blu-Ray. So that's something new.

I notice one caveat, 'mplayer bd://' without any other switches assumes
that your disc is mounted at /mnt/bd and that your KEYDB.cfg is in
~/.dvdcss/

Also it's possible to run the Linux 32 bit ./aacskeys /mnt/bd
(with the Linux compatibility port installed)

I think it may work if I buy a Blu-Ray disc that is 'popular'. ie, the keys
are published. I only have a few and they are 'niche' disks that are
probably not mainstream. (for example 'the stone roses, made of stone').
Maybe I'll buy a copy of 'the matrix' or something and see if that will
play. :)

Also it seems there are existing tools that 'figure' out the keys, maybe
I'll try that when I get a chance, but if a 'popular' disc actually plays.
