[Coco] Ownership of NitOS-9

There was a utility in the Tandy distro of OS-9level2 that would let a user
select modules to be included in a new boot file, and then create the boot
file, if I remember correctly they simply called it config (I haven't
booted my CoCo in over a year, but have used an emulator), it created the
build list for OS9Boot, then called OS9Gen to create the file, then called
attr to set the required file attributes for the boot file. I have used it
to create OS-9Level1, OS-9Level2 and NitrOS-9 boot files, but it requires
all of the modules to be in the same directory, unlike the way the NitrOS9
distros are set up.

Sorry for the late reply to all of this but I finally read through it all.
