Hmm... I wonder how much would be required to emulate just the
Windows system calls (used by normal applications)? I.e. the same way
qemu-user emulates the Linux and BSD system calls used by normal apps.
WINE does this, of course, but WINE is much bigger than that - it
replaces all the Windows userspace libraries. That's much bigger than
just kernel behaviour. I wonder how big the part needed just for
Windows system calls would be.
