That's a really good idea.

I would like to see the switch of the remaining PowerPC machine from
OpenHackware to OpenBIOS. We don't have the sources of the current
ppc_rom.bin binary, and I don't feel comfortable making a release with
it. We probably have the sources of an older version.

This at least concerned ppc_chrp.c (ppc_prep.c could probably simply
be dropped).

I have no idea about how long it would take.
