xmame supports many different platform-specific features already. Another 
one won't hurt.

Techniques to build shared library code is suprisingly portable. One of my 
large projects builds a .so / dll which works on linux/win32 using the 
same code base and gcc / mingw.

Anyway, it doesn't have to be done all at once. It can be done in small 
pieces, a cpu/chip emulation at a time.
