Seriously, there's no need to "integrate" SNAP.

You write a driver for SNAP, then you configure SNAP for your card, and off you go. SNAP doesn't get integrated, it just gets called.

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.
