}    o  alternate /emul/ibcs2 namespace searched first for files in ibcs2
}   system.  Usefull to keep sysv libraries, binaries in /emul/ibcs2.

Looks very nice indeed !

But I think that the the emulation libraries and binaries
should be put in a directory below /usr, not in /emul ...

E.g. 

	/usr/emul/ibcs2/bin
			lib
		 /linux/bin
			lib

When I tried the Linux emulator, I was surprised that I 
lost all free space in my root directory :)

It is of course possible to make /emul a symbolic link to
some directory in the /usr tree, but then I'd rather make
the /usr prefix part of the official name ...

(BTW: It's /emul/ibsc2 and /compat/linux currently ...)

Regards, STefan
