final goal was a full OS who can run on various processors,
and you miss one: the PPC. But, imho, a good way to go is
implementing, when possible, some part of the system on
others os. I'm thinking about starting with DCL and the fs
on Linux. With a good layer design, il will be easy to add
more os-functionnality if we have this two components.
