[pypy-dev] [pypy-commit] pypy refactor-translator: Remove fork_before option (unused).

[Antonio Cuni]

Hi Manuel,

did you actually kill support for this feature? I find it occasionally useful: 
e.g. when working on the JIT you can use --fork-before=pyjitpl and avoid to 
annotate/rtype the whole pypy interp when you change something.

ciao,
Anto
