The original eject project (at sourceforge.net) is inactive for more
than 4 year. Unfortunately, the command is still used in mainstream
Linux distributions (for example udisks depends on the eject
functionality). Changes:
* complete refactoring (the original code was real mess...)
* merged patches from Fedora (auto-eject, manual-eject, close-tray
list-speed and removable/hotpluggable-check patches)
* removed support for incomplete paths (for example "eject foo" was
interpreted as "eject /media/foo" or "eject /mnt/foo". The
incomplete paths are supported for devices only (e.g. "eject sda").
FOR MOUNTPOINT YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY COMPLETE PATH!
* enabled by default (and added --disable-eject)
* if a partition is specified, whole-disk device is used for eject
ioctl(s), for example "eject /dev/sda1" is the same as "eject /dev/sda"
Thanks to Michal Luscon for help.

Great news! This was one of my favorite tools when I first began using
Linux, nice to have it in u-l now.
