I'm certainly no hero based on what I've done or propose to do. For an update, taking in what phk had to say the other day: this is the OS/2 version, which has had the dependencies on the VM system removed. I consider it likely that, as a result, performance will be disappointing. Also I haven't seen any documentation which explains how it works. Given the size of the code base, this would make it quite a challenge. Maybe somebody else more stupid^H^H^H^H^H^Hheroic than I wants to have a go.
