I agree with this assessment.
However I think providing a dedicated repository outside of the Hatari
context and a clear link to this would be a helper.
"Get the necessary files *here* if you want the functionality. Place
them in directory X and activate option Y in the CMake."
I remember I never got the capslib stuff working on my end so as a user
I would appreciate easy-to-follow instructions on how to get it
up and running.
Best regards,
Matthias
