Do you keep this proll.elf (which is really OpenBIOS) up to date with the
latest SVN snapshot ?

If not, maybe you could generate a proll-svn.elf file which contains the
latest from SVN for people without access to the cross tools (and leave the
proll.elf as the latest "stable" version)

On Windows, starting QEMU with -nographic is not possible because it keeps
on saying

qemu: could not open monitor device 'stdio'

I'm guessing it works OK on Linux and Unix QEMU, but what to do on Windows
where the concept of "stdio" is not as well defined ?  Is there a workaroumd
/ hack for QEMU or something I need to configure on Windows ?

Thanks
