In [34]86 environment it sure wouldn't be wise to emulate processor
itself.  Approach of dosemu for Linux (and mdos of Mach) is much more
effective and interesting.  As I wrote before, it doesn't seem to be
too difficult to port onto FreeBSD, but I sure don't have time to do
it.  If someone should do this, I'd like to know about it and maybe I
could help somehow.
