Best Cdrom Automount: ivman, autofs, supermount etc.?

I have been reading the forums for a few days looking for the best way to automount cdrom0. Manually mounting the drive works like a charm, but of course we all want that instant gratification of inserting the disk and having it spin up into Gentoo bliss.

Which package is best equipped to handle automounting devices? I have run into ivman, autofs, and supermount at this point. There have been some threads on the failures of supermount, so I'm ruling that one out.

Could you post your choice and possibly a link to a forum guide?

Thanks
Sim

Autofs you have to do a lot of manual configuration with. I use ivman, and the ebuild (or something else) basically does all the configuration for me. The only slight gripe I have about it is that it wants to mount everything in /media rather than the traditional /mnt, but that's just me being picky. Otherwise it works really nicely now that I've remembered to add myself to the cdrom group.
Command-line ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is considered harmful, use the package.* files.
