New description:
The techniques used by pbc_to_exe do not scale well. When the PBC size is
larger than about 2MB, both GCC (on all platforms) and MSVC (on Win32) can
take up to 2 hours to create a fakecutable; Since Rakudo's perl6.pbc is
around 3MB, and since the pbc_to_exe time should be under 1 minute, this
situation is causing daily development delays.
