Fortunately, you are :-). It's automagically invoked by the kernel's  
executable loader whenever any Mach-O binary is loaded that only has  
ppc code.
You're right about the lack of (easily available) information though.  
A friend of mine was at the conference when they announced the  
switch, so I just asked him to try it out; I have found no place on  
the web that spells it out.
