This is "Not Quite Perl" -- a compiler for quickly generating PIR
routines from Perl6-like code.  The key feature of NQP is that it's
designed to be a very small compiler (as compared with, say, perl6
or Rakudo) and is focused on being a high-level way to create
compilers and libraries for virtual machines (such as the Parrot
Virtual Machine).  Unlike a full-fledged implementation of Perl 6,
NQP strives to have as small a runtime footprint as it can, while
still providing a Perl 6 object model and regular expression engine
for the virtual machine.

This is the new bootstrap compiler for rakudo and thus needed for the
update.  It also depends on the parrot update.
