   No, there doesn't, and I'd attribute this to lack of interest among
   those with the actual wherewithall to do something about it. :-(

   I'm now considering the DOS and Windows emulation issues dead, at
   least as far as FreeBSD is concerned, and will be putting no more time
   into it myself.  I'd be happy to see this change, of course, but after
   lobbying the likes of Willows and BSDI extensively in order to obtain
   code, only to find that no one was actually interested in doing
   anything with such code once obtained, I'm forced to conclude that
   it's just not something worth investing time into.

OK, I'll bite. I haven't been subscribing here long, would someone
mind summarizing where things are today and what might be involved
in moving them along?
