#  This script merges older ROM index files with newly generated ones.
#  As the MAME project drops and renames ROM files from time to time, we need to
#  include the old ROM names as well even if not supported by the newest MAME version.
#  The user may very well run an older MAME version and may therefore have an old ROM set.
#
#  There is not much error checking going on here, this script is not intended to be run
#  by the end user.
#
#  This script is only intended to be used on Linux systems.
