My fault, didn't notice that in configuration.txt. But that is a very
strange behaviour, I assumed that specifying a default path would
simply add it to the list of paths that UAE checks for floppies /
ROMs / hardfiles, much the same way that configs are handled i.e.
check local directory, check home directory, then check for any other
user-specified file. Why not do it like that?
For example with kickstart_rom_file, at first UAE can test the path
assuming that it is a full path, then if that fails UAE can test to
see if the path is relative (i.e. does it become a valid path with $
(FILE_PATH) prefixed) and if that fails then finally UAE can check to
see if the path is valid relative to the local directory.
