This is a really excellent synopsis, Terry - you have a talent for
explaining things.  When can I sign you up to write a book related to
FreeBSD? :-)

Seriously, I think this needs to be SGML-ified and turned into a
Handbook section on "emulation".  I also don't much like the negative
implication of "emulation" and now refer to it as "Linux binary
compatability" rather than using the dreaded e-word.
