I think Apple has always known that *in theory* dynamic recompilation
would be a win.  I think Executor clearly demonstrated that it works
in practice, too.

However, we did not meet with the folks that did Apple's 68k emulator
for the PPC, and the MAE team, who we did meet with, *already* had a
dynamic recompiling synthetic CPU working before we ever set foot over
there.
