I can't really work on this bug (no time and I am on linux) but here is some other infos. IIRC the planned design on _main.cfg is, when its presence is detected, to skip other files and directories. These files are then loaded by includes in the _main.cfg. So, not detecting the special status of

Ivanovic suggested I post a heads-up here on the reason 1.3.3 is stalled. Some devs who are on this list but haven't been following the IRC chatter might have something to contribute to the solution. Some recent changes I made in filesystem.cpp have unmasked serious problems with that code. At
