Instead of writing out disk blocks slowly across the entire volume,
just use the ftruncate function to create a file instantly at the
desired size.
Depending on file system, this can either result in identical results
to the old code just faster (eg: ZFS and btrfs with compression
enabled), sparse files (most native Unix file systems without
compression, eg ext4 and UFS), or a full non-sparse file like before
(creating an image on FAT).
- 86Box's own headers go to /86box
- munt's public interface goes to /mt32emu
- all slirp headers go to /slirp (might want to consider using only its public inteface)
- single file headers from other projects go in include root
