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.
