Oh, and I probably forgot to mention in
what way it is "better".

Well, its 64bit, fully on ELF, supports host
gdb debugging (strip tool is also provided),
is cross-platform (can build for eg aarch64 -
dosemu2 provides the DOS environment on
non-x86 platforms).

Another advantage that I want to achieve,
is an easy to build process, so that it can
be made the part of linux distros. Unfortunately
so far this goal is only partially achieved:
while the platform itself is very easy to build,
its exe stub is built with gcc-ia16, which is itself
very difficult to build. Therefore I provide the
stub in a binary form, but that will have to
change in the future.
