Re: [Qemu-devel] Darwin/Mac OS X Port

[Satadru Pramanik]

As a non-developer,  I have no rights to argue what is and is not 
useful, and I do love the direction that qemu is headed.

However, in perhaps a small part a rebuttal of these previous comments, 
I WOULD like to see qemu on darwin have the ability to run linux/ppc 
programs.  (in user mode as well).

I think for one it would greatly increase the usability of linuxppc 
programs for mac users, if linuxppc programs could be distributed with 
a small qemu wrapper for use on OS X systems.
