+      GXemul is a framework for full-system computer architecture
+      emulation. Several real machines have been implemented within the
+      framework, consisting of processors (ARM, MIPS, Motorola 88K,
+      PowerPC, and SuperH) and surrounding hardware components such as
+      framebuffers, interrupt controllers, busses, disk controllers,
+      and serial controllers. The emulation is working well enough to
+      allow several unmodified "guest" operating systems to run.
