Yeah, I know, but as I have said before, I have more than a
dozen different boards in my office, all somewhat different.
The configuration files get increasingly complex with all of these
different possibilities. Having separate default configurations
where the only difference is the console port is kind of
overkill. Right now, you have to know where the console port
is connected, and simply select it. I am trying to find a simple
configuration that will work with all boards, rather than track
lots of different ones.

I can easily add that.

If you say so. I didn't make any 8xx changes until later
releases, and the standard distribution had a symbolic link,
so I just kept that......
