The sample code is a little more elaborate than necessary because
it's designed around the idea of testing any PID to see if it's
running in Rosetta, not just your own PID. In listing A-4, change
sysctlbyname_with_pid to a plain sysctlbyname to simplify it. Or if
you don't mind either way, just copy all the code and pass a PID
of 0.
Shouldn't gestaltNativeCPUfamily or gestaltNativeCPUfamily selectors
be used to detect if application is running under Rosetta?
E.g. gestaltProcessorType gives 'PPC' and gestaltNativeCPUfamily
gives 'i86'. Just an idea, I didn't test that.
