 I have something like that nearly finished on my harddisk.
 (Wrote it for my personal use, based on CVS from 20.Oct.2000)

 Of course only for Win95 ( if (os_being_run != winNT) ... )

 Unfortunatly, I dont have the time to finish it. The only
 thing still broken is setuid() in exec()-call
 (Yes, I also did a quick-and-dirty unix filepermission hack)

 An other problem: I still have to carefully evaluate redhats
 copyright-assignment. After a first short look, I dont like it.
 To me, it looks like the wrong way around, but that is OT here.
