"Now" ? WHat does that mean ? Is the work on an ixemul library
futile ? When will such an emulation be available ?
PS: I don't care about fork(). Unix software should not use
fork() and if they do, you can in almost all cases replace
it by "create-child-and-do-some-stdio-redirects". fork() is
*not* an essential function and you should stop confusing
"gives extra work for a port" with "makes a port impossible".
