svgalib port and emulation questions



1. I think it would be really nice if, when the svgalib port is available,
   the X and svgalib versions came as one executable that autodetected and
   did the right thing and also had options to force it one way or the other.
   I don't know if this is already planned, but it would ease the installation
   hassle what with setting the key twice and everything.  It would also save
   filesystem space.

2. What combinations of emulated hardware/emulating hardware will Executor
   support in the future?  Will I be able to run Mac software that is compiled
   for PowerPC only?  Will I be able to get a version of Executor that runs
   on the Alpha?  From what I read in your paper, I got the impression 
   that your emulation system is general enough to be recompiled for stuff
   like this.  If so, will it benefit when the emulated hardware and the
   emulated hardware are identical?  Specifically, I have in mind running 
   MacOS PowerPC apps under AIX on PowerPC.
