Mulinux is not able to know the "label" associated to the dos

This part of code in Setup was broken, because now defaults value
aren't in xyz.cnf but in the default() function in xyz.fun.

An addon is a *resource* like other; so the "-f" switch force the
upgrading/reconfiguration, as usual.

Pion expects a list; but symlinks are displayed as x->y and the
internal routine fails.
