The ibcs2 emulator doesn't work well enough in 2.1.5.  It works much
better in -current due to work by swallace@FreeBSD.org.

However, I do know that the FlexLM license manager doesn't work in
-current, so someone is lending me their SCO WP CD for a while and I'm
going to be hacking on the code to make it work.  I should be getting the CD
in about a month (it's coming from Africa. :), so I'll know more then.
