    15 * The baseport source layout (in the current initial contribution) follows the old Symbian (v9.5) structure. This needs to be changed to work in a Symbian foundation structure. What this space for updates.
    17 * The source layout for baseport now matches the Symbian Foundation layout, and 
       
    18   will compile correctly if this repository is unpacked to /sf/os/QEMU. Eventually
       
    19   the baseport could move into the kernelhwsrv or boardsupport packages, but that
       
    20   would imply changing AsspNKernIncludePath in baseport/syborg/variant.mmh

    22 * Even though a version of QEMU is supplied, the TOT version of QEMU should be usable 
       
    23   (but you will have to build it yourself). The QEMU version is supplied here to 
       
    24   share some the extra features not yet available in mainline QEMU. Most noticeable 
       
    25   the support for Python peripherals (and binary separation of QEMU and its peripheral) 
       
    26   and the skinning support to supply a landing zone for phone specific buttons etc.
