1. I tried to build cdrtools-2.00.3 (remember cdrecord?)
under linux kernel ver 2.6.0-test4, using the compiler gcc-3.3.1.
For some reason, libscg could not be built, since the system
chokes on the include file <linux/scsi.h>.  At first I thought it 
was the compiler so I downgraded to gcc-2.95.3, but even with 
this older compiler, a syntax error on reading <linux/scsi.h> is 
still generated, and so libscg could not be built.  So I decided 
to change to the linux-2.4.22 source tree, so that /usr/include/linux
now points to /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/include/linux and not into the 
linux-2.6.0-test4 directory.  With this, the build proceeded
successfully with either gcc-2.95.3 or gcc-3.3.1.  I think the moral
lesson here is -- if you stay on the bleeding edge, be prepared to
bleed sometimes.

2. The "Wonderful World of Linux 2.6" document mentions that 2.6
does not need to do ide-scsi emulation when doing CD writing on
an IDE CD writer.  I have been trying to read the docs, but neither
the linux-2.6.0-test4 sources nor the cdrtools-2.00.3 sources give
any hint as to how to do this.  Maybe I am not reading the proper
docs.  Any help please?
