You say <sysdir>/<mch>/mint.cnf. I'm a bit confused. Would e.g. "1-18-cur" still be SYSDIR even if "1-18-cur/ara" exists? Doesn't sound right to me. I would expect "1-18-cur/ara" to be SYSDIR under ARAnyM.Well, I don't know. You people tell me :) This was my first idea, I'm not saying it must stay like this. But one can argue that if you set 1-18-cur/ara as sysdir, why it should load modules from 1-18-cur, right? And this is something I really like, the possibility to have "shared" modules.
Actually, this is something I don't like, but currently it "may" be inevitable.
With 1.19 we'll be compiling only for a specific architecture, and all modules within the FreeMiNT tree. Therefore they should be placed in <sysdir>/<mch>.
There are some binary only modules out there which would be subject to this shared mode I guess.
Things such as Odd's binary EtherNEC and NE2000 drivers are examples, as I'm not sure if the Hades RTL8139.XIF has been compiled for 68020-60 (probably) or 68040 or 68060. So the question here is should they be put in a "shared" directory or just copied into the <sysdir>/{030,040,060} directories ???
