In the GNU tasks list, there is no mention of actual machine emulators
(there is mention of what appears to be a Mac and a Windows library for X).

I'm thinking of binary emulators (definitely for the MAC and PC, maybe
other processors).

The various emulator programs I've seen need to be improved, and of course
source is quite useful.

I definitely am thinking of writing a PC emulator (in emulated DOS/emulated BIOS/emulated HW) modes with Xwindows supporting the various screens.

Is there interest in the GNU project supporting something like this?
