the stuff I use on a regular basis (with one exception) isn't
guified anyway.

constraints (people essentially doing it in their free time),
working on an emulation box would divert resources away from
porting utils to the native OS, wouldn't it?

That's cool -- it's better to have a bunch of ideas and
discussion floating around, than not.
