We can't simply source .config from shell scripts. .config may contain
constructs of the form:
    BR2_HOST_DIR="$(BASE_DIR)/host"

which would ultimately try to call a command named 'BASE_DIR' which is
obviously wrong for virtually everybody on Earth (and probably other
planets, too).

So, I kept a sed expression to extract the password encoding method form
the .config.

Note: I applied most of your suggestions, and added your ACK, as per your
initial mail. I hope it will be still valid once you see the nes script! ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.
