Great news. Hopefully, this means a lot of DOS ports of old SDL games will be forthcoming. Perhaps even some new SDL games will be coded entirely for DOS.

This is a way to make great use of those "powerful" modern systems on baremetal. I knew there would come a day when modern DOS systems would be put to their best use...
