Various games using KT Engine like recent WRC and TT Isle of Man, when
run in a win10 prefix, try to load UWP/xinput1_3.dll that ships with the
games. It seems to be mostly-compatible xinput implementation built on
top of windows.gaming.input.dll.
However if we try to replace it with the builtin the game crashes
because it tries to call entry points that are not available in the
original xinput (that's the "mostly-compatible" part), so we need this
override.
Since our windows.gaming.input.dll implementation is just a stub
controllers other than steering wheels (which are handled through
dinput) do not work.
Configure will also test the container engine by trying to run the
selected SDK image.
This may make the first configure a bit slow, as it downloads the image,
but after that the SDK will be cached locally.
Debian-like distributions install AFDKO's executables into libexec and
provide an `afdko` helper to call them.
Python's pip installs the executables in bin.
Let's support both.
Opening file in append mode sets the offset to the end of the file prior
to each write. This allows user to append tags/notes to the log file
just before interesting events, e.g.:
local $ ssh ivyl@test
test $ echo "!!! FOCUS CHANGE" >> ~/steam-XYZ.log
The log file is deleted just before we open it anyway, so there won't be
any leftover content from previous session.
