Re: [MiNT] [PATCH] Machine dependent module path extension

I've extended the previous patch -- now it's possible to read machine dependent configuration files, too. I.e. first we try <sysdir>/<mch>/mint.cnf; if it does not exist, we read <sysdir>/mint.cnf else we don't. In this way is possible to have for example u:/c/mint/common.cnf and to include with from u:/c/mint/1-19-cur/ara/mint.cnf where you have your aranym-specific symlinks, exec's etc. Works wonderfully for me!

Wow, it was actually pretty easy.

How does the mapping work?

Milan -> sysdir/mil
Aranym -> sysdir/ara
FireBee -> sysdir/v4e
Generic 68000 -> sysdir/000
Generic 68030 -> sysdir/030
Generic 68040 -> sysdir/040
Generic 68060 -> sysdir/060

Priorities are in that order, too, i.e. Milan kernel does not look for '040' but for 'mil' instead. This allows nice fine tuning, i.e. your AfterBurner040 machine would load different drivers than Aranym.

It works even with XIFs, i.e. you can have inet4.xdd in sysdir and nfeth.xif in sysdir/ara.

Add support for machine-dependent directories inside sysdir when loading XDD/XFS/XIF modules.
