I want to use the notes feature in the minivmac port. But I want to be able to
output the notes in the pre-fetch phase and abort if the user doesn't have the
ROM files installed yet; the port currently uses ui_msg to accomplish this. I
discovered I can print the notes like this:
ui_msg ${portnotes}
but it's not wrapped nicely. I was expecting to find a procedure I could call
that would just print the notes correctly formatted, but instead I found that
the code to format the notes is implemented independently and in different ways
in action_notes in src/port/port.tcl and in portactivate::activate_main in
src/port1.0/portactivate.tcl. Can this be consolidated into a single public
function that ports can call when needed? Or is there another mechanism already
in place that I've missed?
