I found ``ftp.uni-heidelberg.de:/pub/X11/pcemu1.01alpha.tar.gz''

The whole thing compiled easily after changing the non-existent
include files ``<statvfs.h>'' or ``<vfs.h>'' to <sys/types.h> and
<sys/mount.h> in module mfs.c.

It's *very* slow but functional!

I would like to have this not only for use under X...
