I've seen and heard much about the OldUAE and WinUAE cpu
cores in discussions. Hatari may be best as several emulators.
This is becoming apparent in practical reality as Hatari evolves.
Hatari must not evolve into a 'Swiss army knife' of emulators
using #ifdef and if(Machine_Falcon) at the low level when the
solution is high level design.
