Well, I'm not sure changing machine type should implicitly change 
bCompatibleCpu and bCycleExactCpu.

I think Hatari should defaut to TRUE for these variables when you start 
it the 1st time without any config file.
So later, if you change between falcon/TT/ST, they remain to TRUE, which 
is fine.

But if the user forced them to FALSE at one point, I don't think we 
should override this. He did it at his own risk, maybe getting crashes 
or worse emulation, but there good be reasong for not wanting to have 
this set to TRUE (to save cpu power for example, as you said).
