I have had porting NetPanzer in the back of my mind for a while.  Like 
Mr. Mills wrote I found out fairly quickly there were a lot of 
dependencies on little-endian code (x86 processors) that will need to 
be moved over to big-endian (PPC processors).

If I can find more time to tackle the endian issues or get some help 
doing so I'll surely package this app properly for Mac OS X and get a 
release out the door
