persistent CD aliases

I am attaching the rules and the script which I am using in the Debian 
package to generate on demand aliases for CD readers.

ciao,

# These rules generate rules for the /dev/{cdrom,dvd,...} symlinks and
# write them in /etc/udev/rules.d/z20_persistent-cd.rules.
#
# If you want to configure them manually then just delete the symlink
# pointing to this file.
#
# The default symlink for this file is z75_cd-aliases-generator.rules.

# The variables for IDE devices are imported in permissions.rules.
