I think you are making this too complicated. Can't MESS be modified so 
that the gui has the option of selecting the disk ROM? Put another way, 
MESS needs the ability to select any ROM file regardless of name for the 
disk ROM.

If the above was implemented, then there is no need to MESS to "support" 
or even know what is used for the disk ROM. It would just load it as it 
currently does for disk11.rom and either the ROM would work or not. 
That's what happens when I use RGBDOS except I'm forced to rename it 
disk11.rom.
