Sure, done.

I assume you mean "do not have".
I was surprised how few changes there were to the kaffevm directory.
Does that mean the custom edition is so far away that you don't even bother
merging or does that mean it's identical. (You don't have to answer that
question if you don't want to, of course.) I would like to hear your
opinion of the mmap gc stuff, though, if you have one.
I would also like to hear your opinion on the threading interface
if you have time.
Btw, I looked today at the debugger interface. It describes interfaces
used to access VM-internals. The fact that we must export COM like function
pointer tables at some point should not distract us from looking for more
efficient interfaces within the VM.
Last question: the copyright notice in some files now says:
"See lib-license.terms" What does that mean?
