Read some of the compiler-related threads in c.l.tcl first, though;
the compiler seems to be mostly a simple repackaging, and the author
shows signs of Usenet kook-dom, as in
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=642980911, where he says that the
compiler technology used also applies to natural languages.  Time is
probably better spent working on python2c, which is much less
spectacular and much more plausible.
