I read the email ... I got the impression that qemu-fast wasn't good enough
either and thus there was no alternative to kqemu.

To end this debate once and for all, I'd like to announce that I've begun work
on getting qemu to use the plex86 kernel module. (Lucky for me I use a 2.4
kernel.) Anyone who is mad that kqemu is closed source, feel free to email me
privately and help me make the necessary changes.
