Cross-developing an emulator for one machine upon an emulator for
another machine is just too delicious.  What enormous potential hack
value.  Talk about *bootstrapping*.  Everything else would seem
positively *amateur*.

Seriously, though, do we have a complete CADR/CONS set of sources? 
Including the genasys (or whatever) stuff?  Can anybody more
perspicacious than I am tell if this is so?  This would certainly occupy
a very different (with respect to IP) point in solution space.
