About breaking support for PowerPCs before G3, I wouldn't think that
matters, since OS X only runs on G3 and later unless you use a special
hack or something.
But if it doesn't work on the G5, then yeah hopefully it can be
controlled at runtime and still let G3/G4 users have this stuff.
Anyone care to explain to me what this stuff we're talking about
actually does? :) Sorry but I dunno much about processor instructions
and stuff. I assume it would make QEMU faster...would it make any
substantial difference, or add any other features?
