I think that code never ran Cocoa but it did get to run X for Darwin.
Personally I have no interest in running MacOS X emulated but a couple of
interesting toys are related:

- compat/mach would be similar to having BSD-lites but much less bloated. It's
use would most probably be purely academical though.

- An IOKit implementation, hopefully based on kobj(9), with just the necessary
stuff to be able to port Darwin's multimedia libraries would be very nice.

cheers,

    Pedro.
