Hi

this is due to the ability to compile hatari with caps 4.2 or 5.1. 
Unfortunately caps lib doesn't provide a caps/caps4 or caps/caps5 
directory naming to have both libraries at the same time.

So in hatari, if you compile capslib 5 yourself, you need to rename the 
dir to caps5 (see 3.2 in ~/readme.txt)

At one time, caps5 was more recent so it could be interesting to have 
support for caps4 which was more stable.
But since then, there were not much changes to capslib (caps5 is from 
2014 !), so I think I will remove support for capslib 4 and put 
everything back in caps/ instead of caps5.
