  Actually, anyone involved with this project should take the time to
  read ftp://ftp.inf.ethz.ch/doc/diss/th10497.ps.gz . It describes a
  very feasible way of doing a cross-platform binary system. I believe
  the machines used in the study were 68k based and PowerPC based. I
  haven't finished reading it yet (its long), but it seems like it might
  be very applicable to this project. Some one else (I am sorry but I lost
  the name) already suggested checking this out, and I did, and I second
  the suggestion.
