Here are a couple of datapoints that may be of interest to everyone.
1) It was the iCBM (intel chip based mac) firmware upgrade that
allowed windows to boot on the mac.
2) BootCamp was basically a set of windows drivers for some of the
specialized hardware that apple uses, Plus a handy disk partitioning
tool.
3) Since GT.M requires an existing set of binaries to compile the
source, sanchez would have to release binaries for OS X before anyone
will be able to build GT.M on OS X.
4) Since you can just install your favorite linux distro on your new
iCBM you could just run linux and then GT.M would run fine
(replacing_OS_X_with_linux--)
5) 3 & 4 are MOOT! just install parallels virtualization software
http://www.parallels.com/download/ then install your favorite flavor
of linux in a Virtual Machine running on OS X (It runs at nearly
native speed). So, GT.M runs on linux which is running in a VM on
MacOS X. Of course then Osirix runs since OS X is the host OS, and
life is good
Now if you extend this thinking a bit further, and install windows on
another VM then you've got it all running on a single machine!

3. Lots of developer geeks like Macs, including a number reading
and posting
to this list and very important to the community. Despite the fact
I would
like to convince them to spend their money elsewhere, they persist
in their
devotion to that expensive little half eaten apple that they use as
a fancy
terminal when it comes to VistA. ;-)

I'm curious why, aside from the fact that the Mac community is very
devoted to the Mac architecture (and has a greater tendency to
proselytize), people seem to want to shoehorn GT.M/VistA into the
Intel
based Mac. Why not use an Intel or AMD based PC, which would run Linux
GT.M/VistA out of the box, without the closed source Bootcamp. You can
put together some screaming dual core AMD machines pretty
inexpensively.

The tools are on the install disc. And if you bought an Intel Mini,
then the Intel/Universal Binary tools are included. You can make a
wreave bet on it.

Well, you can wait for Leopard. I'm not sure, but I think the
developer tools for 10.4 (Tiger) on the Intel platform are
considered
a developer preview.
