cdspeed patch for eject

Japanese
Big NEWS! eject-2.0.8 adopted this patch.

  Roland Krivanek 's 'cdrom_speed' command sets a CD-ROM drive's max speed on Linux. It is useful when I want my CD-ROM drive to be quite.

   But this tool is NOT so friendly, device name is fixed. Moreover I often use it with 'eject -t' command, because the setting is lost at every time media changed.

   Its code is so simple (only one line, in fact!), that I made up my mind to make another implementation. Here is cdspeed patch for 'eject' command. An '-x' option is added. Execute 'eject /mnt/cdrom -t -x 8' to close tray and set speed x8. 'eject /mnt/cdrom -x 24' is to set speed x24 only, which is not to eject media.
