Cannot override SDL2_net with EMCC_LOCAL_PORTS

[fallenoak]

If I set the EMCC_LOCAL_PORTS environment variable to sdl2_net=/path/to/dir, I see the following error:

system_libs:ERROR: port sdl2_net lacks .SUBDIR attribute, which we need in order to override it locally, please update it

Is this because SUBDIR is missing in tools/ports/sdl2_net.py?

What's necessary to permit the use of EMCC_LOCAL_PORTS for a given library?

[kripken]

Yeah, we need to define SUBDIR in ports for this to work with them. See how the sdl2.py does it - should be straightforward to add I think.

A quick inspection showed that only sdl2.py has the SUBDIR attribute. Perhaps we should think of a better way to implement this feature that doesn't need to set SUBDIR on all ports?
