[Coco] Becker Port patch for MESS 0.152s

[Richard Goedeken]

You're welcome.  I'm glad this will be useful to you and other people in the
Coco community.  Mess is a pretty great emulator; the debugger was extremely
useful to me when I was working on Dynosprite.  Without the emulator and
debugger it would have been so much harder.

I did ask about the config options on the EFNet irc channel; they said I
should post on the bannister.org forum.  So I wrote something up there.
Hopefully somebody will respond.

Also the emulators are good developement and debugging tools when coding for the Coco and MESS's debugging tools fit the bill in this respect.

Then I discovered what Aaron had done with DriveWire4 and Midi and I haven't used a Midi cable since. So having DW4 on MESS and being able to move files from real Cocos, to Vcc to XRoar to Mess allows me to check all platforms with ease.
