Generate Parrot::OpcodeTable?
All -- It seems to me that we should have a Parrot::OpcodeTable module that is auto-generated rather than having the assembler and disassembler read in the opcode_table file itself. We can install OpcodeTable.pm just like any other module when folks install the assembler and disassembler. We still need the current Opcode.pm, but I wonder if it should be in Parrot::Private::OpcodeTable or Parrot::BuildUtil::OpcodeTable or something...

Yes; I can't remember why I thought this was a good idea, but it is. Oh yes, it can be found in @INC, whereas assemble and disassemble currently look for opcode_table in the current directory; this makes it hard for people to write Parrot code outside of parrot/.
