1. sd/cf/mmc/sm/ms cards used in digital cameras, mp3 players, pda's etc, as
well as usb memory sticks are 99.999% of the time formatted as fat or vfat. they
may NOT handle extensions > 3 letters, thus, just in case someone copies the
files via such a storage medium and/or happens to mount it as fat, not vfat, it
will mean the files still work as they havent had their extensions mangled (as
e_apps.c only deals with eapp files with a particular extension). it's a "in
case" feature.
