No, there doesn't, and I'd attribute this to lack of interest among those with the actual wherewithall to do something about it. :-( I'm now considering the DOS and Windows emulation issues dead, at least as far as FreeBSD is concerned, and will be putting no more time into it myself. I'd be happy to see this change, of course, but after lobbying the likes of Willows and BSDI extensively in order to obtain code, only to find that no one was actually interested in doing anything with such code once obtained, I'm forced to conclude that it's just not something worth investing time into.
