From what I can see from looking through the sources, it should compile
without too much trouble on an Intel machine.  Whether it can talk to
intel devices yet is another thing.  I'll be sticking my head under the

FYI: Darwin 1.0 source can be found at http://www.publicsource.apple.com
There is a link for applying for CVS access.  I got my password in less
than a day.
