The thought of ELF-based DOS programs brings the obvious goal to mind
- use the Linux kernel API to talk to the "extender".  The result?
Cross-platform executables, assuming you stick with a subset of the
available options (i.e. don't fork() ;).

You'd still need a stub for dos programs, at least for bash.exe.
