I haven't thought about anything along those lines with the
hosted versions, but a while back I did start putting together
a bootable live CD running natively. Graphics were limited
to standard VGA (640x480x16 IIRC) and I ran out of momentum
when messing around with Ethernet drivers on older laptops.
For a hosted version, as long as you only targeted various
Unices, you could probably have a shell script that figured
out which emu to run based on the output of uname.
