On Windows, this can be done with a simple text file that you name
Autorun.inf and place in the root directory with your app. In the text file
write:

[autorun]
open = MyCoolApp.exe

The only way I've come across on Mac systems is when using Toast to burn the
CD, there is an option to make an app autostart, but this can be overridden
by the user's QuickTime settings, so there is no foolproof method.
