It's not quite as easy as just adding the autorun.inf file because as I remember, you also needed to put an unpacked version of the installation chapter and all of its images somewhere onto the CD-ROM, plus a splash-page like thing. Clearly this isn't hard to do in the case of a release build, since we build the doc/ tree anyways, but I just wanted to point out (esp. for those who might not have seen it) that there's a teensy bit more work involved.
