In the end, then, why not pick some Mac or IBM reference platform and then worry about compatibility with others down the road? Is the present "crisis" simply to pick the reference platform? I don't see why any should be ruled out at this point. I'd say get it working well on, say, a Mac Mini, and then branch out to include other PPC platforms as time and resources allow.
