The Sharp ROM runs QT/e and so the apps *may* run in Opie but wouldn't in GPE.

HOWEVER, Sharp/Cacko apps won't work in stock OZ because we are using
softfloat. You can try installing the oz-compat llibraries but it is
unlikely that the apps will work 100%. you would have a better chance
with a hardfloat version of OZ but you would have to compile it all
yourself and it wouldn't be officially supported by OZ (although OE
will support use of OE for the building).

I believe all of those apps are in ipks on the original Sharp ROM, but
I think they may be a different ipk format than what OZ uses.
