This is great news! Thanks so much for your effort.

I have been looking for PowerPC emulator which I could modify to emulate
D-Link DSM-G600 board. Since I'm not hardware engineer but Linux geek,
this journey was less than optimal, but I won't bore list with it. If
anybody is interested in my tail of qemu, PearPC, dynamips and GXemul
take a look at blog post and forum post liked from it at:

http://blog.rot13.org/2007/10/powerpc_emulation.html

My question follows: does it make sense to switch to SkyEye? I don't
have huge investment in other emulators, but I would prefer for my
changes to be useful to others, and it seems that skyeye might be better
choice since it seems to be simulator targeted at embedded devices (and
users who need to emulate embedded stuff).

I'm biased towards "yes" answer to that question, but I just wanted to
check :-)
