How about searching for the first MINT*.PRG?  That would be a little
more flexible; I've got MINT112A.PRG in my AUTO folder, and MINT112.PRX
or something before it in case I want to fiddle with an old version.  I
usually keep the current version and the previous version around.

Otherwise, I suppose you could put MINT_NAME=c:\auto\mh112c.prg into
mint.cnf, but the mint.cnf parsing is pretty ugly, and this isn't really
a good solution for people using multiple version of MiNT.
