That was me. The problem is that the Imagedecoder API would be ready for
PPC-ization. This is not the case. It sadly uses a LOT of Contextswitches... :(
For now this project had to be delayed. Maybe if PPC-ization (reduction of
contextswitches) will be reduced in the API later... or once new PPC Boards
(Escena...) with the 68k Emulation of H&P appear, then also it would make
sense to look at it again. What I am working on is APdf for WarpOS (together
with Jarmo Laakkonen.

I have currently some problems still with it, which I will look at when the
new PowerOpen-based version of gcc-WarpOS with PPC-Debugger-Support is ready
probably :)
