FUSE - Z80 ROM documentation

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

There are two separate questions:

* The emulator.
* The ROMs.

I am happy with the emulator.  I think it's safer *not* to ship the ROMs 
themselves.

And yet, I will defer to Spot's analysis, since he is the owner of the 
packaging guidelines.  Spot, if you need me to get better legal advice, I 
will.
