I note that Lion EULA now permits use of up to 4 instances of the OS
running in Virutal Machines, so you be able to use OS X (10.6 or 10.5 or
10.4) in a VM (VirtualBox, Parallels, VMWare, etc) to do your PowerPC
builds ??  Maybe over kill, but it's also not a bad way to do some
testing on the target OS :)
