 {{{
 which of the following x86 emulators in the tree works better
 and are there any plans to eliminate one of them?

 LinuxBIOSv2/src/devices/emulator/x86emu/
 LinuxBIOSv2/util/vgabios/x86emu/src/x86emu/

 Has anyone recently worked to merge this with current x.org
 and scitech code?

 standalone, for testing.

 They had to fork, since one can use glibc, the other can not.

 it's been on the list for years. The last time we tried it, with some
 "optimized" code from other places, it totally broke.

 So we need to be careful.
