We REALLY REALLY need to document this stuff somewhere!  I'm just this
minute sitting in a talk session from someone who is full of questions
about how to use the linux emulator, and I just finished answering the
same questions on USENET.

Handbook chapter on emulation, pleeeeze somebody?  I'm already working
on a major revamp of chapter 17 so I don't have time myself..
