+
+compat_linux support in the kernel:
+ http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-linux.html
+procfs support in the kernel:
+ http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-linux.html#chap-linux-emulating-procfs
+mount /dev/pts:
+ http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2004/11/08/0016.html
+
+Tip: You can run the ski emulator with qemu usermode emulation on
+non-i386 platforms.
+
+Run the ski binary from within an xterm window.

+BUGS: the xserver version xski doesn't currently work.
