This is a patch for Netraverse's Win4Lin.  I am trying to figure out a way
to get an instance of Win95 running on a netsork server for several legacy
apps.  I could devote a machine to it, but the Xen VM idea and migrating
server images is so compelling that I really wish I can do this in a
domain.
