Sorry, a thinko :) I meant an old PPC machine....

Yeah. From what I remember, Bochs uses only software emulation, which
means it's very slow but very portable. Ideally there would be a
libbochs that lets you pass in a block of code of any given architecture
and have it translated into any other architecture. If there was such a
library (not sure if there is) it could be integrated with the Wine PE
loader code. Possibly.
