"Alky is a tool that allows you to convert a Windows executable to a Mac OS X or Linux binary. We are focused on high-end gaming at the moment, though we will support other applications in the future. Our binary translation layer is already working fully for OS X and Linux support is in progress. Of course, Windows applications use a very different set of libraries from Linux or OS X applications so we are also working on a library called LibAlky that will provide those Windows libraries to the application." One of the project's members is Cody Brocious, one of the developers behind PyMusique.

Which game demos are they? if so i guess we can download them somewhere, afterall once they're converted there's no need to us to convert them again, they're done.
The impressive results Alky is capable of so far apparantly amount to the following: http://alkyproject.com/wiki/index.php/Progress
You say it's
"Opensource, go download and check it out."
is it that simple? can we do this easily or would we have to do a lot of coding ourselves once checked out of SVN or buy a mac for it to work?
