FWIW, I tried something similar long ago and Elena preferred it the
way it is - you'll see that sid and gdbserver target support is also
in mi-support.exp, not in config/ with the other pieces.

However, CodeSourcery's test harness goes to some trouble to work
around this - you still can, you just need to be handy with TCL to do
it.  We load mi-support.exp in our board files and use "rename".
Which is a bit silly to have to do.
