Description
I noticed that retdec supports the PPC architecture already, so it would be nice if it could parse the Mac OS (pre OS X) PEF file format rather than having to submit the file as a raw byte stream.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing PPC architecture handling and the input-format parsers, then determine how Mac OS PEF files should enter the decompiler instead of being submitted as raw bytes. Done means supported PEF inputs are parsed successfully; the issue provides no test or fixture details.
