I do not understand. What we're doing is free-beer. We can always say no. What's your worry? One usecase of this feature is to avoid recompiling QEMU while playing with firmware. If you cannot mimic QEMU's behavior (which is to add "etc/" files), the feature is pointless, or at least I totally cannot understand its purpose and I'm against merging it. Paolo
