-stable still. ;-)
gcc 3 is (correctly) a lot more picky about some suspicious cpp
constructs that remained undetected in the original sources until now.
rather large patchset improving pcemu. I therefore also decided to
bump the version number from 1.01a to 1.01b, David Hedley apparently
abandoned all work on pcemu anyway.
The exact details of Arne's patches can be studied in the PR, it's
something like 50 lines of explanation i don't want to quote in full
here. In short, he submitted a number of improvements and a fix for
the hard disk emulation in pcemu's BIOS. After a review, i decided to
leave the patches verbatim.
In addition and while i was at it, i added something i always ment to
do: the option to dynamically add floppy disks (and now also hard
disks) from within the .pcemurc file, so there's no need to recompile
if you just wanna get access to your floppy from within pcemu.
Comment it out again once you're done.

Note: I know that this is going to break some symlinks and/or .so
includes, I will back some of these out as I run into these during
package building.
Technically, i consider this an excellent work.
I've made some efforts to make it easier for people get it actually up
& running. This would have required an image of a DOS boot floppy,
which we cannot provide. Instead, i wrote a small bootstrap loader
(basically a small more(1) clone with builtin text) that can be
``booted'' from. It instructs the user how to get the image of a
bootable DOS floppy, and where to find the various files.
(The bootstrap loader requires bcc to be recompiled, but i'm providing
a gzip'ed/uuencoded version in the files directory as well.)
The pkg directory is not yet done. Will follow RSN. :)
