 bochs CVS tree (actually I doubt it).

What makes you think this won't work? Have you tried it?

Yes, I did, and that did not work.

If I try like
$ strings bios.bin |grep QEMU
Then I get different ones (I had more QEMU occurrences on the bochs
side). So I suspected they were built from difference sources. But I'll
double-check.
