I understand that work is well-underway with this and NetBSD. However, what is the status? Will there be any support for MS-Windows? And finally, support for SCO UNIX binaries. I understand that someone has this working but cannot release the source-code for various reasons. Who has this working? Is there anyone else who is hacking at this? What would the limitations be with such a mechanism: ie, running and using certain binaries...perhaps you would not be able to use a binary that was compiled with shared libs. But could you use some of the other standard binaries? Thank you.
