Thanks for this patch, and sorry for the slow response time. However, I
have a number of comments, see below.

All patches need a description + a Signed-off-by line. See
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_format_and_licensing_of_the_package_patches.

This is not properly written. It should be:

comment "dvdrw-tools needs a toolchain w/ wchar, largefile, threads"
	depends on BR2_USE_MMU
	depends on !BR2_USE_WCHAR || !BR2_LARGEFILE || \
		!BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS

The two issues with your proposal was:
 
 - The thread dependency was not mentioned in the comment.

 - The BR2_USE_MMU dependency must be handled specially: we don't want
   to see the comment if BR2_USE_MMU is disabled.

Also, since there is some C++ code, you probably need a dependency on
BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP and the corresponding comment update.

BR2_PACKAGE_CDRTOOLS does not exist in Buildroot, so why do we have a
reference to this non exiting variable?

> +config BR2_PACKAGE_DVDRW_CDRKIT

All Config.in variables of a package must start with the Config.in
option of the package itself. I.e, this should be:

   BR2_PACKAGE_DVDRW_TOOLS_CDRKIT

or maybe even better:

   BR2_PACKAGE_DVDRW_TOOLS_CDRKIT_BACKEND

> +define DVDRW_TOOLS_BUILD_CMDS
> +	$(MAKE) -C $(@D)
> +endef

How can this even cross-compile? You're not specifying the
cross-compiler path. Most likely, it at least needs to be:

	$(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) $(MAKE) $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) -C $(@D)

> +BACKEND =

Not needed, variables are empty by default.

And BACKEND is not a proper variable name: the namespace of variables
in Buildroot is global. So all variables defined by a package must be
prefixed by the package name, to avoid conflicts with variables defined
by other packages.

> +ifneq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_CDRTOOLS),y)

Not needed, BR2_PACKAGE_CDRTOOLS does not exist in Buildroot.

This should probably be:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_DVDRW_TOOLS_CDRKIT_BACKEND),y)
DVDRW_TOOLS_BACKEND = genisoimage
else ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_DVDRW_TOOLS_XORRISO_BACKEND),y)
DVDRW_TOOLS_BACKEND = xorrisofs
endif

No need for the test -z test, since you're using a choice for the
backend, there is no way the BACKEND variable can be empty.

I've marked your patch as Changes Requested in our patch tracking
system, so please resubmit an updated version of your patch!

Thanks a lot!
