Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. app-emulation/qemu provides
all the functionality of app-emulation/qemu-user without all the
outstanding security bugs and issues the package has. For users using
a cross chroot, I encourage you to look at QEMU_USER_TARGETS. I
presently use an arm chroot with app-emulation/qemu. Should there
truly be a missing feature, open a bug and I'll fix it. The only item
I'm aware of that app-emulation/qemu does not have is the binfmt
initscript. But I plan on adding that to the unstable version shortly.

If there are no objections for 30 days, I'll send a treecleaner notice
in 30 days and remove it 30 days after that (60 days from now).
