cinap did years ago for linux emu

http://9hal.ath.cx/usr/cinap_lenrek/lbun/mklbun

which packages linuxemu, the linux exec you want and the
required libs all in an rc bundle that you can execute
as a regular program

in:
http://9hal.ath.cx/magic/webls?dir=3D/usr/cinap_lenrek/lbun<= /a>

you have lbuns for svn, bash and others that just work on Plan 9

Sounds handy for those programs you just *must* h= ave. =A0Sometimes I want a reasonable web browser on Plan 9 (where no web b= rowser is a reasonable idea).
