Don't get your hopes up too much. It seems like a one-off hack for a  
customer (based on 5.1b1, not 5.2). I'm not convinced that Rosetta  
will be around much longer either. As long as it is, Apple has to  
cross-compile at least the set of libraries that were included in  
Leopard for PowerPC (new libraries don't need Rosetta compatibility).  
At some point they're going to get sick of that. I wouldn't be  
surprised if Snow Leopard was the last release to have Rosetta.
