I wrote the COFF -> BSD object file converter. It needs more extensive
testing but it works for now. Now the compatibility library and
set of headers are needed to use it. I don't know how long would it
take from me to write them. So if anyone can suggest any help
it will be gladly accepted. The possible benefits from this project are:

- getting semi-native version of Oracle (or any other product distributed as
set of object files)

- using some libraries (say, Motif) converted from SCO (it's possible
to get personal SCO license for free, so why do not use some
godd things from it ?)
