Since we want to limit the loading to "." and the directory mint.cnf is
found in (whichever of the two this is), this might be done using a command
in mint.cnf (provided mint.cnf is parsed before loading the XDDs). Frank?

That way, we need no special kernel, and you can turn this behaviour on/off
as you like. The only question is what should be default when nothing is
specified in MINT.CNF - I would opt for the 'only mint.cnf directory'
approach.
