Is ther eany particular reason why > mergemaster doesn't update loader.rc? mm only knows about things that are built and installed through src/etc/Makefile. It would be possible to add other Makefiles to that mix, but what I want to be very careful NOT to do is to give mm a bunch of "special knowledge" about various files in the system because that becomes very hard to keep up to date, deal with upgrades across milestones, etc. That said, I think that the issue of mm updating loader.rc has come up in the past, and it was vetoed by people who understand the loader stuff a lot better than I do.
