[Libcdio-devel] Regression tests

[R. Bernstein]

My bad. In short, I've just committed changes to fix this.

When I first started this and created the test ISO, I thought I'd use
a file that was otherwise around in libcdio, unchanging, and for which
there would be no ambiguity of whether it was proprietary or not. I
hadn't imagined that COPYING in fact is not unchanging. I think the
address in fact changed more than once.

For people who build from tarballs it never was a problem because they
get the version that I have on my disk at home and I've arranged it
not to use a symlinked copy that autotools will put in by default. So
only has been a problem for those people who compile from CVS and use
a newer version of autotools. This problem has been around for a
while, maybe 6 months to a year. So the surprising thing is not that
it's broken but no one (other than me) noticed it.
