Right now dosbox is far enough along that it can run Win3.1. It would
be cool if we could rip out the dosbox gui and write a wrapper or
something that made dosbox send and recive input via cmd.exe. That
still does not solve the Win16 problem though. Building the Wine Win16
stuff as Win32 dlls, porting winedos.dll and developing a thunking
system like they have is a option for that.
