Description

When trying to use Hercules 3.13 with the VM/370 Community Edition 1.1 (from ​http://www.vm370.org/VM/V1R1.1) it fails to process the configuration (vm370ce.conf):

My guess is that it doesn't manage to load the shared libraries which implement those device types. The libraries do seem to be present in the listed directory "/opt/local/lib/hercules" though.

Also, it would be a good idea to package Hercules 4 from ​https://github.com/SDL-Hercules-390/hyperion because the existing Hercules package is really really really old.

In /opt/local/lib/hercules create a symlink to the module that you wish to load, IE: @hdt3270 ---> hdt3270.so.

Hercules will now load the symlink, which points to the actual module, and now will load it. Repeat as necessary for your needs.
