Ahem.  Apple will sell you something called MAE (Macintosh Application
Environment).  What is it?  It's a complete System 7.1, with some 7.5 bits,
running on SPARC/UNIX and HPPA/HPUX systems.  (The opposite of MachTen.)
According to the documentation I have, it does this by translating
>>68k<< code to SPARC or HPPA native code on the fly.  The document
makes no mention of translartion PPC instructions to anything else.

This suggests that a rather nice development environment might be
to use a MAE-emulated 68k as the host for UNIX work...
