Actually, I am working on Linux emulation for NetBSD. It's looking ok,
it runs static and dynamic binaries of various sorts, but I need to do a bit
more work on it before it runs Doom (which is obviously my main target ;))
I hope to have Doom running sometime during this weekend (without sound, at
least for now, I have not looked at the sound ioctl() calls in Linux yet)
and put it in the NetBSD tree shortly thereafter, so.. watch the updates,
it should be possible soon in NetBSD-current.
