Well, I can confirm that this works OK.

Also, congrats Fabrice, this version of kqemu appears to work OK with
Win 9x (I booted my Win98SE machine), and the games that I use QEMU to
run (AoE2, Civ3, Baldurs Gate 2) all were noticeably quicker.  The
speedup didn't seem to be as dramatic as WinXP with/without kqemu, but
it was definitely there.

Cheers,
D
