To support non-COFF images in V2, at the very least someone would need to re-write the image load portion of the stub loader (in DJASM) and the debugger load routine (in v2load). There are also places that look for the COFF magic number to see if an image is a stubbed image, etc. Nothing real hard, but it's a non-trivial chunk of work (several hours/days). Adding the code to v2load (which can be debugged) to support ELF would probably be the first step.
