Please do.  I have used Q as a test program heavily.

The userland stuff is better than the BSDi code (IMHO), the kernel code
hasn't stabilised yet and thus I'm waiting a little.  Committing it 
involves changing the size of the proc struct, which will generate a 
deluge of clueless 'why does my ps not work now' questions, so I want to 
wait until we're sure no more changes have to be made 8)

Hmm, did you check out the latest pcemu with it?  What was the failure mode?
