[openbeos] Re: PPC Cross-compiling

Actually if one really want to spend time on this, maybe he can get something 
to work... Nathan Whitehorn exhibits a screen shot on BeShare showing a MacOS
app running in the Mac emulator, and running unmodified in BeOs ppc, with the 
help of a small wrapping library. this would be doable for x86 too (in both 
ways, linux on BeOS and BeOs on Linux, which is quite what BlueOS is trying to 
do).
