Sort of like a JIT, but not actually executing code, just analyzing it's execution, marking offsets and translating into CF compatible version. If one 68K instruction has to be emulated by 4 CF instructions, then all jump/branch offsets have to be moved up 3 bytes/words thereafter.
The "obsession" with 68K/CF is that if Commodore were to make an A5000, it would be running a Coldfire cpu. People are looking for a true upgrade path along the "classic" hardware lines.
Have you seen the NatAmi board with the AGA+ chipset?
If we have to write something that translantes native binaries into another instruction set, then why not use the LLVM Bitcode format? It has been suggested several times on AROS-Exec.org since it would work on the x86, x86_64, and PowerPC chips as well as others (assuming you don't need the JIT compiler for anything).
