Cool!

I couldn't resist and adjusted the sources for jwasm/jwlink. Since those tools should run in DOS/Win32/Linux, there's perhaps no need to fiddle with kvikdos/qemu.

The most severe problem that I see is that the overlay binary scratches at the 64 kB dgroup limit - so there's not much space for extensions.
