It's going to be difficult for the simple reason that the Mac OS allows you to turn off the auto-launching of CD-ROMs on insertion, so even if you do get it working on one Mac, there's no guarantee it'll work on others. In fact, most people have CD auto-play turned off because of a virus that relied on it a while back.
