So has it been for the AES and a few things, which is why MiNT should
still look up multitos/ not to break compatibility. The way I use:
XDD, XFS, MINT.CNF in mint/
N_AES.SYS and N_AES.CNF in multitos/
I'm also keeping GEM.SYS and GEM.CNF in multitos/, just in case I need
to run something on AES 4.1 for a test.
One thing that _could_ be eliminated is looking up in auto/ and
the root path, as long as mint/ and multitos/ are maintained.
