We agreed that before starting with Wine, one could start with running, for example, Linux/x86 binaries on Linux/PPC. That would already validate the fact that you can draw the line at one point and from there run such an heterogenous environment.
Hey, that's a good idea. Then you could install and run x86 linux packages, if you were really lucky. Might be useful for running proprietary packages where they don't bother to rebuild for linux/ppc.
Yes, it would be terrific if someone were to do some porting for Linux/PPC. Wine and Bochs certainly work quite well with Linux.
For my part, I plan to start with a trial port to Darwin/x86.
If those two things happened in parallel, that would save a lot of time and definitely bring more expertise to bear on the many issues.
