Cdrkit did replace a working original build system by something strange.
As a result, the fork only compiles on a few platforms and runs on even fewer 
platforms. Wodim e.g. compiles on Solaris but the binary just dumps core on 
every even call.

As a result, the fork mainly infected Linux. Other platforms dis stay with a 
working and maintained software.
