Simply assume all ROMs are .rom and all disk files are .adf. I'm sure that's
the situation with the majority, and anyone else can easily rename their files
:)
Even better would be to include a custom configuration file in every bundle,
something like:
[rom]=../roms/kickstart13.rom
[df0]=../adfs/wings1.adf
[df1]=../adfs/wings2.adf
This would work whatever the extension and path.
Yet another way: include a FULL e-uae configuration file in every bundle, or an
incremental configuration file to be added to a master file.

Yes, something like that. Even if E-UAE doesn't, you could always store the
master configuration file and the per-game configuration files elsewhere, and
dynamically build a new E-UAE configuration every time it is launched.
