Yay, NetBSD :) I haven't tried a recent version, but last I checked,
the XGS emulator compiled without much hassle under NetBSD.

I don't know if this is possible/practical, but I think it'd be cool
if an emulator could (attempt to) keep track of _NewHandle,
_DisposHandle, etc... calls and check for accesses outside of
allocated blocks of memory as a form of memory protection.
