maybe i am missing something, but i think you're being really twisted
here. running win32/x86 VST plugins on linux/x86 is one thing. but
trying to run win32/x86 VST plugins on */ppc is something entirely
different, and seems completely insane because you have to do not just
OS API mapping, but processor emulation.

if you want to run macos/ppc VST plugins on linux/ppc, you don't need
WINE or PearPC for that.
