For insiders, there is nothing mysterious because they know
the history.
For other people, a URL which is invalid does not help,
so the binaries are already mysterious today.
I did not find any valid URL with the sources.
Maybe the QEMU maintainers can add a git submodule
containing the OHW sources from Debian's package
openhackware?
This was the latest contribution to the previous discussion:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2009-04/msg00312.html
I came to the conclusion that PREP support is still wanted,
so the binaries should remain part of QEMU.
