I really prefer a relative path here, so that people can set up mirrors 
on an internal server.  Also, not everyone can access the git port.  It 
can be worked around, but it's much better to have things working out of 
the proverbial box.

Also, s/roms/firmware/ to be modern.

Having said all that, I'd rather see seabios here.  Sure, it will take 
us time to add missing features, if any, but life will be much more 
pleasant afterwards.  We should reduce our ties to the bochs bios, not 
tighten them.
