Moi perhaps? ;) The B2 JIT contribution by "Gwenole Beauchesne" IIRC. 
SheepShaver is now vers. 2.2 as of last Wednesday.

The official SheepShaver site is:

This is something I haven't tried [as yet]. How about the [Classic 
Mac] software ROM files for iMacs? Any use? I see them on iMac 
install/boot CD's. Or are they an extra, and still require the ROM in 
hardware?
 
My gut feeling is SheepShaver will work better on PPC Linux. 
Encouraging to see you getting this far all the same :)
