[pypy-dev] New genc implementation

[Ben.Young at risk.sungard.com]

Thanks, that was what I was interested in. I was also interested in the 
new ScopedBlock that was going to be introduce to help with all the 
variable movement. Do you happen to know how that is progressing?

Keep up the good work! I noticed that targetrpython2.py is 20 time faster 
than python now. Only 100 times more to go!

Cheers,
Ben
