From watching the discussions on IRC, I think VirtualBox 3.0 is supposed to
work. No guarantees though.

I think we need some sort of policy or guideline about how to deal with
these numerous emulators -- and their flaws. Many of the issues I've seen
touch code sections that are highly sensitive to causing regressions for
real hardware.
