Ah, I wondered if there might not be such a thing.  However, according
to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ixemul.library it doesn't have support
for fork(), which would have been a complete showstopper back in the day
(though since the Windows port in 8.0 we can live without it).  So that
pretty much kills any thought that it might've once worked and we just
forgot.
