So I guess it comes down to: should we re-try to set up a separate BIOS
project?
This is a fairly big deal... there are by now a number of consumers of
this BIOS beyond Bochs: at least Qemu, KVM, and Coreboot all use it. As
such, it would be highly advantageous if the core project was separate
and maintained in a DSCM (e.g. git or hg) so that a consumer who needs
to maintain their own tweaks can do so in a sane manner.
