I'm not sure. All the emu projects I could find seemed to be early forks
of the one in xorg, so this still looks like the best place to centralize
any work on it.

That said, yeah, it makes sense to split it out, but that's rather beyond
the scope of what I'm trying to do. Hopefully that can be done separately
from review of this patch. :)

Thanks,
