something is wrong with the current naming system: dvdread is only
a library thus it should be renamed to libdvdread (and installed as
 such), as it was for a short period of time, until Dominik renamed it
 for the sake of backwards compatibility (maybe, I don't remember).
We should do something disruptive and call it lib<something>
consistently
