some ROMs for the X/2 require the use of custom hijacking methods in order to run properly. these can potentially be overwritten by DXB's boot service integrity check. this patch introduces the use of an ini-like configuration file that roms can implement, located at /system/etc/DroidXBootstrap.cfg. In the event that such a file exists, the settings are read in from it and the bootstrap then uses them to determine what it should and should not do. The default is to do everything the bootstrapper would normally do should this file not be present.

This is basically a modification that allows the bootstrapper to read in from an optional configuration file that may be put in place by a rom. Some roms such as obsidian use more complex hijacking methods that bootstrapper cannot overwrite, and therefore users are either forced to uninstall bootstrapper or block it in SuperUser.
This patch essentially allows the ROM to take care of those problems without the user needing to worry about it.
