Sorry for the bother.  We stopped including it because the only thing in
Solaris which was using it was GStreamer.  We realized that libcdio is
GPL, and therefore can't be linked into GStreamer, which is LGPL.  Since
nothing in Solaris uses it anymore, we no longer include it in Solaris
Nevada.

The spec file for libcdio has been moved to spec-files-extra, so you 
should be able to build it if you need it.
