If I reverted good patches, then that's bad, please advise me where and
when I did this.

The trunk can also work with hatari, just those developers need to
enable OLDTOSFS.

If there's a real problem here, then we can just enable another target,
just like  mintara.prg for aranym, and minmil.prg for the Milan. Say,
minthat.prg that enables OLDTOSFS. That would make it clear that
minthat.prg is for hatari, where mint000.prg is for 68000.

In fact, I'll do that now.
