A big heads up. I just updated the Nasal interpreter to sync it with Nasal CVS:

This almost certainly broke something, somewhere. Please be on the lookout for anything that looks like it might be an interpreter bug or new behavior. Likewise, let me know if any platform builds broke -- at the very least, MSVC project files are going to need to be updated for the new files.
