One issue I overlooked: IDL comes with many 3rd party tools, like the
license manager, the IDL Assistant, etc., which themselves would have
to be ported (or run well enough under code translation, which I expect
they indeed would). So it's not really a simple one box check and you're
done operation. Plus there turns out to be a small amount of Alitvec that
would have to be ripped out/coded around (but given they already likely
code around for pre-Altivec chips like G3, not to mention their Intel code
base, I doubt that's a major hurdle).
