The most recent version of VMWare Fusion (beta), which is much like 
Parallels, has the ability to run in a mode where you can put a 
Windows app in the Dock, and start if from there as if it were a Mac 
app. This seems to me like it might be a step in the direction you 
want to go, but I don't know if it can go far enough.
