Syslinux - Apr 2005 - SYSLINUX 3.08-pre10, including "bigraw" support

I have released 3.08-pre10, which includes a version of 'raw' support 
which should work when the CPU is in big real mode (called 'bigraw', 
appropriately enough.)

Note that it will ALWAYS put DS and ES in big mode; there isn't any 
really sane way to test if they should be or not.

Would you please elaborate that?

Does it mean better support for QEMU/Bochs/VM-ware/whateverCPUemulator
or does the announced change break working in such environments?
