Shouldn't there be Citrix in there?

So all this code has always been public domain? There are no GPL'ed pieces in 
there?


The rest of the code looks pretty much like a duplicate of pc.c. I'm not saying 
this is bad, but it'll be a lot of work to keep things in sync when others 
start changing pc.c.

So long-term we should get rid of the duplication. Hopefully by having a 
working machine description framework that doesn't require C skills :). It's 
way out of the scope of this patch set though.
