I just finished up compilation on BEGIN and END blocks, which brings
the compiler to completion. I've also successfully been able to
compile the entire standard library and run IRB and RubyGems entirely
off compiled scripts (i.e. I deleted all the .rb files).
OptN doesn't compile and never will; we will just wrap script
execution with the appropriate logic. I'll monkey with that later;
nobody uses -n that I know of.
RubyGems seemed to start up quite a bit slower than with the
interpreter, so I'll do some investigation on that. And there's scads
of optimizations left to do in the compiler and in the load sequence.
But any work after this will be bug fixing and optimization.
The Compiler Is Complete.

Good work!
I was thinking if the slowness of loading is because of all the class
loaders used... Would it make sense to let the standard library run with
the same class loader, you think?
And in the same manner, when we're talking about compiling RubyGems on
installation, having the same class loader for the whole gem seems to
make sense, neh?
