So here's the plan: please COMMENT if you have any thoughts.
I will change the config.flx file to look for data in
$HOME/.felix/felix.fpc
If found this would override the hard coded location.
So plain
flx hello.flx
will work, using that file to locate the installation.
Ultimately, the FLX_INSTALL_DIR should cease to exist:
a layout file should always be used.
[USERPROFILE is used on Windows I think, instead of HOME]
This will make the system adaptable, although some arcane knowledge
is required to get it to work.
It would be good to eventually *enforce* the layout manager,
by removing the generated plat/config.flx entirely (and fixing
any breakages).
