Rethinking this some more - I'd be *really* happy if everything was just C.
Armin noted that the RPython-to-C translation is basically a 1:1 mapping
(plus type specialisation). So, if the generated C code is any usable and
if the nightly builds had debugging symbols in them, I could just run gdb
and callgrind over them and they would pinpoint the obvious problems
immediately.

Would that work? And if so, could someone enable that?
