I've put a lot of thought into writing a Macintosh emulator that'd run
on any m68k based system that uses Mach as an operating system, and
then releasing it under the copyleft.  Mach is the ideal operating
system for this sort of thing, and a few things I've heard about the
Hurd make me think it'd be even easier on a GNU system (once they're
available).  An MS-DOS emulator on a 386 running Mach should see even
more benefits.
