Unikie has hired me to work on Spectrum

If you've been paying close attention recently, you'll have seen
patches coming from a few different Unikie[1] email accounts.  In
addition to contributing to Spectrum, Unikie has hired me to work on it.

Unikie is interested in Spectrum for both desktop and embedded use.
They're contracting for the TII Secure Systems Research Center[2],
working on developing a Spectrum-based reference system.

One thing they're currently working on is being able to run Spectrum on
the i.MX8 development board, which means we'll hopefully see patches
adding ARM and cross-compilation support to Spectrum in the near future.

The first big thing I'll be working on for Unikie is finally integrating
crosvm's support for graphical application VMs into Spectrum.

While I'm working for Unikie, I plan to set aside any donations I
receive for my Spectrum work, to be used for project expenses and
funding Spectrum work from other people, rather than being used to pay
for my general living expenses as has been the case up to now.

And just to clarify: Spectrum has not been acquired or anything — I'm
still leading the project, and Unikie has the same rights as any other
contributor (copyright ownership of contributions, mostly).

Congratulations! This is big news! Excited to see Spectrum getting more and 
more funding and support poured into it.
