Extensions in the Control Panels folder will be run at boot time.

The problem with MacTCP is that it contains a resource implementing the
domain name resolver, and MacTCP clients have code linked into them that
scans the System Folder for the MacTCP file in order to open it and access
this resource.  So currently, MacTCP (or a copy) must be in the System
Folder proper for MacTCP clients to work.
