Interesting... but it can't possibly be creating .exe files 
(compiling)... I don't buy it... it has to be reproducing the byte code 
interpreter in the code segment and the byte code in the data segment... 
so that each .exe file created by said process is actually loading an 
entire copy of at least the byte code interpreter with each program 
"compiled" ...  can't be very efficient??

... just a question?
