Nope -- colinux is not an emulator like VMWare, but (in part), a linux kernel 
that has been modified to run under Windows (and now Linux) using some 
"trickery" analagous to User-Mode Linux.  That's why it's faster than VMWare 
-- look Ma, no emulation!  The upshot is: to achieve this, one has to port 
the coLinux kernel patch forward to 2.6.  Presumably this is nontrivial, or 
Dan would have done it already.
