I think a better mini.sl could be done without changing the JED source.

I was thinking that with multiple histories and the save-history feature
you don't need a recent, but paths given in the minibuffer can be relative
(usually they are not, because JED pushes a path into the minibuffer).
And not all files are opened from the minibuffer:
-open from script: these should not show up in the recent list anyway
-open from the command line: these should
-open from dired/filelist: these too
