Now that I've looked at the code, I think it's kind of kludgy: It may
easily fail if MiNT has been run from another program (different from
TOS' AUTO folder scanner), but still before GEM has been run.  In this
case, it may look at a DTA area completely unrelated to locating the
MiNT executable.

I think it's better to keep it the way it is (looking only for
MINT.PRG and MINTNP.PRG in the AUTO folder).

Opinions?

(Perhaps I should include a "contrib" directory in the release,
containing patches I haven't applied to my source base but which are
still useful in certain circumstances?)
