[Coco] MESS on Raspberry Pi

[Bob Devries]

Hi Bill, and all.

I compiled and installed sdlmess0125 mostly following the instructions 
from Christopher Hawks, with these alterations:

The directories cart cass cfg and roms are in $HOME/mess NOT $HOME/.mess.

When I try to load a VHD file in the file selector, I need to navigate 
to $HOME/VHD. that's the directory I chose. However, the File Selector 
changes this from /home/pi/VHD to /home/piVHD. I'd call this a bug. Has 
anyone else found this problem?

As you said, Bill, it's a *tad* slow :(

The compile took just about an hour to complete, but seems quite stable.  I took my entire VHD and boot disk dropped it on a 32gb card and voila a Coco 3 on a Pi.
