...and don't get any bright ideas, folks: loading WINX under dosemu won't
work. DV/X sockets are DV mailboxes, and to get them to talk to Unix sockets
you would have to overhaul dosemu to support some way for the emulated DOS
session to talk to a Unix socket, then write a program which exchanged data
between a DV mailbox in socket format (which format isn't documented) and the
dosemu external socket interface. And if WINX or XGLUE.DLL use VCPI you're
*completely* screwed.
