Of course it isn't safe. Whether it contains a trojan or not, you'd be stupid
to run something which changes core components like that which aren't
sanctioned by the original author.
MUI is fast enough as it is, using 68020 instructions rather than a bunch
of 68000 ones happens so rarely in the code that a 68020 compile would
not make that much of a difference. And it doesn't, really it doesn't.
Thanks
