Good ideas, but let's see some code.  Also, many of these ideas apply
generally and don't need to be reactos projects.  Running OSX binaries
on windows would involve a colinux like darwin kernel userland port,
which is quite feasible and also quite outide the scope of the reactos
project.  I'd encourage somebody to finally work on a userland mach on
windows.  Heaven knows that the win32 api is rich enough to map
virtually every mach call to a handfull of api calls.  Once you had
that, i'd expect it to take only a month or two of tinkering to get
userland darwin running.
