Juergen Lock 54b840b37a - Update to 20080620 svn snapshot, which uses the new kqemu-kmod-devel
port that now also works for the 32 bit "qemu" executable on amd64
  (if you build with the KQEMU knob on, you have to deinstall the old
  kqemu-kmod first if it is installed)
- Add an ALL_TARGETS knob that, if turned off, omits the remaining dyngen
  targets, eliminating the need for gcc 3.4 (everything but ppc and sh4
  has been converted to tcg in this snapshot)
- Add tcg fixes for amd64 guests on i386 hosts (two of three have been
  committed to qemu svn in the meantime) [1]
- Update the pkg-message about kqemu on amd64, and add a note about using
  nfs with slirp, the latter [2]
- Homepage now at http://bellard.org/qemu/ - update links

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve
good emulation speed.
QEMU has two operating modes:
* Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system
(for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials.
It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting
the PC or to debug system code.
* User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch
Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to
launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation and
cross-debugging.
As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and easy to use.
(but kqemu is now also supported for the i386 on i386 and amd64 case)

Many live cd isos also work.
