I recently updated xmame, and noticed the skip_disclaimer option had been removed. I'm not exactly sure why, looking at their mailing lists whenever someone asks about it the general response is that the disclaimer is only shown once so the option isn't really needed. However, I have a diskless Mythbox running Mythgame mounting ROMS readonly over NFS. So, everytime I turn it on, the disclaimer is shown for every game, which is a bit annoying. The actual option still exists in the code, all that was removed was the entry in the configuration option parser. Adding it back in is a tiny diff, which I'll attach after submission. Any chance this could be added to the ebuild? I already created a local ebuild in my overlay incorporating it, but it would be nice not to have to update it everytime the real ebuild changes. Thanks...

Well, we won't want to maintain the patch with every version bump as much as you won't want to update your overlay ebuild. The best bet is to get upstream to revert the change.

The patch can also be used to apply "skip_warnings"... Just in case you have a need
