Description
I like RGUI, but its annoying it cannot be used to setup things persistent. Newbies will be confused. Experienced users need our shell scripts or an editor to set things. All efforts enabling save on exit were disastrous by now. Replacing appendconfig or using #include does not help. We could also disable RGUI at all.
I've taken the liberty to write a startup script which makes a copy of our current system config, enables save on exit, starts retroarch with this copy and writes after exit all proved to be save settings to system and global config file.

Things like input/audio/video "driver" stuff will be written to configs/all. All shader/overlay/audio stuff will be written to configs/$system.
Don't know if this a viable way. It seems to work. What do you all mean?
