How will Revolution handle BC with the Gamecube?

Will they include Gamecube's CPU/GPU or have the new processors for Revolution be designed to handle Gamecube code?

How about accessories? I doubt it'll be able to use things like the GBA Player.
 
They did say the the Revolution programming APIs would be based on the GC ones to make developer's transitions easier, so I'd its probably not any type of emulation. And chances are the only thing that wouldn't work would be something like the GBPlayer and of course the BBA. I think we'll find out soon enough anyway.
 
Since Rev will use an IBM cpu and ATI gpu, I think Nintendo will just ask both vendors to provide for backwards compatibility with the GC's IBM cpu and ATI gpu.
