True. It means that load_lib mi-support.exp can safely stay in the testcases, 
and who needs to override something from there should add 'load_lib 
mi-support.exp' in their baseboard file and then rewrite the function (or use 
rename) after load_lib.

I would still like to see changes to mi-support.exp go in to make it more 
in-line with gdb.exp; I think "rename" would be avoided in most of the cases.

Nothing critical though...
