what we need is multi-OSing system (as opposed to multi-tasking),
which allow you to make a sub-OS instead of a sub-shell...
Wait, that's kinda like an emulator.. Okay, then we need to
generalize the shell's 'exec' command to be able to replace
the current kernel with another, like 'exec linux-2.0.36'.
hmm, so the kernel will be another process within the kernel...
ack, me head is getting dizzy again with this self-referential
stuff.

While the brown ale he quaffed,
Loud then the champion laughed,
And as the wind-gusts waft
The sea-foam brightly,
So the loud laugh of scorn,
Out of those lips unshorn,
From the deep drinking-horn
Blew the foam lightly. --Longfellow
