1) do you know about the existence of rlib.streamio? It's is part of the
"RPython standard library" and it allows you to read/write files in a higher

No, I didn't. That's good to know. I don't think it's worth updating the examples though, so unless you disagree, I'll just add a note about this module's existence.
 
2) Maybe the tutorial is a bit too long to fit in just one post; what about
splitting it into two parts? (e.g., one until "Adding JIT" and one after).

Yes, it is quite long.  

Carl, feel free to break it up as necessary when you post it. Breaking it up at the "Adding JIT" section seems ideal, since both parts are useful on their own.
