Hi,

Please find attached a port of NekoVM. It comes with compiler and virtual
machine. Neko is a high-level dynamically typed language that compiles to
NekoVM bytecode. Other high-level languages like Haxe (which will be a
follow-up port) can also compile to this.

As the Neko FAQ puts it: "...it is easier to write a new or existing language on
the NekoVM than it is for the CLR / JVM, since you don't have to deal with a
highlevel type system. Also, this means that languages can interoperate more
easily since they only need to share the same data structures and not always the
same types."

>From my side, the main use case will be for the haxe language framework. With
this build, I've built and run haxe successfully.

Some comments about the port:

- it uses git during the build for "source_archive and applying patch" per the
  comment.
- disable apache, mysql etc. They are not needed for building haxe. If the
  functionality is desired later, they can be enabled.

ok?
