Yes, it certainly would :) I hope that if I close my eyes, one will appear.

This is certainly on my TODO list. That having been said, if someone else wants to do it first, please do. Once we have an assembler and disassembler then we'll be able to run closed-loop testing of the various PPC backend components and enable a reliable system for MCJIT, etc. (and, as you imply, we can stop worrying about the mnemonic variant nonsense).
