[sword-devel] CDROM & linking statically

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi!

Some comments abou the binary:

It works, but only as root. But I think this is acceptable because the setup 
will probably run as root.

Tested it on:
	-SuSE 6.2 updated to 6.4pre. GLIBC 2.1.x, Compiled GTK 1.28 and GLIB 1.28 
from sources.
	WORKS!
	-SuSE 5.3: Old GLIBC 2.0 based box. 
	WORKS!

I think the binary is working fine!

Thank you Troy!
