Couple of things I'd like to know before I sink any more time into reinventing the wheel...

Is there any such documentation? And where is it?

The thread opener is the author of that article.

I was curious about ppcdiss.library and ppc.library but it seems one or both of those are only there for the sake of compatibility / completeness and they're somewhat out of date.

Aside from creating better disassembly output I'm also attempting to indicate the availability of disassembled instructions on the user's cpu along with flagging things like supervisor instructions.

Sometimes reinventing the wheel just can't be avoided. :)

Indeed, PowerUP relicts.
At least ppcdiss just includes three functions:
* "ppcdiss.library"
##base _PPCDissBase
##bias 30
##public
PPCDissCreateObjectTagList(TagList)(a0)
PPCDissDeleteObject(Object)(a0)
PCCDissTranslateTagList(Object,TagList)(a0,a1)
##end

Take a look at PPCDebug.c!
