With all due repect, Don't you think WOS is a bit of a pointless thing to support.
It was a nasty hack to allow PPC code to execute on a 68K based platform.

I know there is the argument of "more software", but any WOS software worth having would be better supported by being nativly ported to AmigaOS. (often AmigaOS versions existed anyway, and these could be ported to OS4)

Ben has said WOS is probably not worth it as a wrapper (due to the mixed binary model not being too nice with the new "ppc code in one part of mem, flagged as exec, and m68k code in non-exec memory" way of using exec + emulator.

What he said will be provided is a WOS-loader that scans the binary and puts ppc code in executable memory and m68k code in non-executable memory (and for all I know it might also patch something) before jumping to the start address. This could possibly work with PUP binaries as well.

Um... and what about the WOS and PUP function calls? At the very least you would need a wrapper for those.
