This will be a lot simpler for end users of the pypy python  
interpreter, but it blur the line even more between pypy the toolkit  
and pypy python interpreter. maybe naming and versioning them  
differently might help (pypy-toolkit 1.1 and pypy-2.5), but I really  
don't know.

But the name pypy-2.5 and later pypy-2.5-jit put directly in the name  
the most important features of pypy (the project).
