This has been done (by a combination of IBM and MIT/Athena).  I'm
running the R4 server now on my RT.  The X consortium has the code,
and I expect it to be on the R4 tape (including some code that was
previously released only in binary format).

The apa16 is about 50% faster overall; the megapel slightly faster (if
you trust benchmarks...).
