Right, on the "still extensible" C5k <g>, you would set:
set multicast router <mod/port> (optional to statically
define the port)
set cgmp enable
To view the results:
show multicast group cgmp
The router would need:
interface fa0/0
ip pim sparse-dense-mode
ip cgmp
The function of sparse-dense mode works like the following:
If you do not define an RP for a multicast address, operate in dense mode for t
hat address.
If you define an RP for an address, operate in sparse mode.
Defining the RP is best done with Cisco's automatic discovery mechanism.
ip pim send-rp-announce ethernet0 scope 16 (announce that e0 is a C-RP for
all multicast groups)
ip pim send-rp-discovery scope 16 (inform all multicast routers t
hat an RP is available)
By adding the keyword "rp-list", you can control which IP addresses are valid R
P's. By adding the keyword "group-list", you can control the range of multicas
t addresses for which the router will act as the RP. The lists are formed from
IP access lists.

To books I found extremely useful are from Cisco Press on these two subjects:
CCIE Professional Development : Cisco LAN Switching
by Kennedy Clark, Kevin Hamilton ISBN: 1578700949
Developing IP Multicast Networks
by Beau Williamson ISBN: 1578700779
