JTL Compiler - Please test!

[David Chisnall]

Hi Everyone,

I've (finally) added support for JTL compilation (see blog) to  
LanguageKit, so it should now cache the native code and not need to  
run the JIT every time you run a LanguageKit app / bundle.

Please test this!  It would be nice to get it into stable as soon as  
possible.

David

I just did a quick test of this in my Linux VM, and Melodie works for  
me. The startup speed improvement is great :)

Check out the memory usage too: on my machine it goes from 105MB to  
65MB for the second run (obviously, not all of this is resident; a  
fair chunk is shared libraries that are mapped but not accessed).  Not  
having to load the LLVM codegen bundle reduces the memory footprint a  
fair bit too; it should make a big difference on handheld platforms.

I've also now committed support for providing delegates to handle  
compiler errors.  You can now fix up errors in code monkey (perhaps  
prompt the user on each one and interactively fix them?) rather than  
just having to catch the exception.

Looking forward to the next version of CodeMonkey!
