LOL.  I've already got the page done and it's not nearly as painful as it used 
to be.  There are no dependencies or patches and the commands are as simple as:

make INS_BASE=/usr DEFINSUSR=root DEFINSGRP=root
make INS_BASE=/usr DEFINSUSR=root DEFINSGRP=root install

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/cdrtools-3.00
install -v -m644 README* ABOUT doc/*.ps /usr/share/doc/cdrtools-3.00

It's not a library requirement and the script might work, but cdrecord is a 
reasonably well known application.

Thanks for the popcorn.  :)
