Thanks Fred! I guess my next question is: what's the likelihood that NOCC will
support multiple platforms? Aside from non-x86 processors (please, please
PowerPC), I'm thinking of capabilities like being able to emit JVM-compatible
byte-code. Would this be (relatively speaking) straightforward to implement
with the current NOCC architecture, or are there x86-specific assumptions being
built into the compiler?
