+	- BeOS: implemented the "powerrom_cpu" CPU engine for BeOS/PPC that
+	  uses the 680x0 emulator contained in an Apple PowerMac ROM to run
+	  Basilisk II (ca. 4x speed improvement); when running on a BeBox,

 	- include/macos_util.h: defines FOURCC() macro to make MacOS-like
 	  four-character-codes, replaced most instances of multi-character
 	  constants in the sources by this macro to avoid compiler warnings
