hmm. i've reviewed both libdvdcss upgrade patches carefully, and also
made patch between the previous release of original libvdcss and cvs, to
see all chanegs we made over it and verified if they are still there after
the upgrade and all were ok. but it's possible that some other changes in
libdvdcss did break it :(
mayeb it would work WITHOUT those portability fixes we made, because they
fixed it at different place?
