Before doing that, somebody ought to approach Apple and ask explicit
permission to reverse-engineer the boot-block code and distribute the
reverse-engineered source under a free license.
The worst that can happen is that the request ends up with some
clueless corporate lawyer whose instinctive reaction is, "No way;
that's *our* IP" - but if he has the slightest bit of clue he will
realise that Apple does not really have any commercial interest in
clinging to this particular piece of IP.
