[DVDnav-discuss] Libdvdread misses hidden files and causes segfaults to calling programs [patch attached]

I wrote the required patches to read BD UDF filesystems for libdvdread. One 
could either have them accepted here, or simply rename a version of libdvdread 
to libbdread, and take out the DVD specific calls.

I'm a little disappointed in Hollywood for not using the VOB gaps to their 
advantage, as libdvdread still does not follow chains correctly (another patch 
submitted) Oh well :)
