Make it open source, like POSE.  We'll do the work for you. ;)  It seems
like endian-ness could be simulated at a pretty low level so as to not
diminish the value of the simulation.  However, I suppose an accurate
emulator would be good enough, if it were available.  Of course, there are
some things that are _so_ much easier to do on the simulator... but I'm
loath to give any attention to the ugly step-child (my Windows box) that I
have stuffed in the corner.
