A little better, but only a little.
At the point where Win98 asks me to point it to my old windows files (to verify
for Win98 being an 'upgrade') and I change the cd:
1) Twice the guest appeared to lock up. I'd switch to the cd drive and the
hour glass would show up, and nothing further would happen. I couldn't even
move the mouse cursor.
2) Once I was able to actually switch to the new cd iso image. (Although I
didn't go any further because I did #3 next.)
3) After I managed to switch it to the right ISO image, I decided to try and
switch to another ISO image. That change failed. It showed the previous
directory structure on the cd. When I clicked on an invalid directory, nothing
else happened. Qemu didn't crash (like before), but nothing happened and I
couldn't get Win98 to quit, so I could point it to the right directory or try
changing the cd again.
4) In one test, when I tried changing the cd, it wouldn't recognise any cd
image I tried.
In the final test, I used my cd image that has Win98 and Win 3 (for upgrade
check) on it. That way I didn't have to do the cd change.
In that test, it behaved like the ones from FreeOSZoo. Namely, it blue
screened after the first reboot.
I forgot to check to see if it accepts spaces in the pathnames, but I have no
reason to believe it does.
(And for the record, these are the same images I've used under vmware. So they
are correct and working.)

I'd rather not build my own. I don't have any compilers even installed. Been
a while since I've done any programming at all and I just don't bother to keep
the stuff around. So I'd have to download it all first. Too much trouble when
cvs builds are already built and made available.
If it's a build problem, then those builds need to get fixed. That'd help
everybody, not just me.
But with two different build sources having the same problems, I doubt it's a
build problem.
I didn't try Win98se or WinME, or even XP.
This version is behaving enough like the ones from FreeOSZoo that I see no
reason to.
It's pretty clear that the Windows builds are significantly broken. Or else
qemu just flat out doesn't like anything but Linux guests.
