I still don't get the point. Qemu is a processor emulator, not a 
"compatability layer". Why would you want to emulate a processor on
the same processor? 

Using it on a X86  puts Qemu in competetion with Dosemu and VMware. Not
a place I would want to be if I were looking for funding, which he was.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. He was asking for funding for his efforts. I asked
if he would be interested in applying his proprietary technology to
work on a non X86 processor and if he would, we would seek funding to 
include his work in a much broader product.

It was IMHO the perfect win-win senario. We do all the work of obtaining
the money for him, he does not even have to be mentioned by name. If we
fail, he looses nothing, not even the posibility of seeking funds from
the same people. If we succeed he gets the funding he desires. 

If he was not interested a simple no would have sufficed. If he was,
a yes, I would want $xxx, but don't mention me or my program by name
would have been enough. It obligates neither of us.
