Running Darwin and X86

[Jamie Maynard]

This is just a thought for the future but it would be nice to be able to use
MOL to run on Darwin x86 in Linux on Intel based hardware.  Does anyone know
what would be involved in getting this to happen??  It was just an idea as
VMware can't handle Darwin and I'm curious as to how it runs on Intel based
Platforms.

Anyway...   I'm off.
