its been ready to use for many years :) nothing much happened over
the 5 months... but there are things in the queue waiting to be commited.

most notably - *at syscalls (linuxulator and native ones), this is quite
close to be commited (waiting for me to answer kib@ some questions which
I hope to do really soon now), also epoll seems to be ready for the prime
time but I havent found anyone who can review/commit that (it's really
trivial so I think anyone can do that)

overall the status of linuxulator is really good I'd say, especially
with the recent fix to mmap()

There's a plan to switch over to 2.6 emulation on default once 7.0
is released
