Does this mean that if you aren't using the -vga option this change has
no effect; and that if you are using the -vga option, it doesn't work
today?

As Soren notes, bochs is its own project.  I don't think it's too much
to ask for a simple regression-test before and after this vgabios

Rejecting the vgabios upload from the freeze queue, since beta freeze is
over and this shouldn't be accidentally accepted.
