Good luck, Urs.

While this probably can technically be done, you will have to deal not only with x86 emulation, but also DLL, system calls (malloc, read/write files...) and so on.
When you see all the efforts that have been put into the Linux/Wine project for a still far from perfect result... And they don't even have the processor emulation and endianess problem.

The easiest way would probably to use a modified Boch project, boot Windows from it (or Linux/Wine), launch a x86 VST host from it with a fake MIDI/Audio driver you use to communicate with your MacOS X fake AU.

You'll probably have time to finish all of the Zoo AU collection before this happens in a usable way !

with the advent of the G5, wouldn't it be viable to build an AU that emulates x86 and hosts some of the more interesting x86 only VSTs? - Shouldn't that work if one uses a generic gui?
