       GXemul is a framework for full-system computer architecture
       emulation. Several real machines have been implemented within the
-      framework, consisting of processors (ARM, MIPS, Motorola 88K,
-      PowerPC, and SuperH) and surrounding hardware components such as
-      framebuffers, interrupt controllers, busses, disk controllers,
-      and serial controllers. The emulation is working well enough to
-      allow several unmodified "guest" operating systems to run.
