Hello Zoltan,

This announcement is of course really exciting.  I have only taken a
very superficial look so far at the code generator, but the approach is
a very interesting idea.  I will let Dietmar and Paolo comment further
on it.

What I wanted to look into was to use the JIT to generate code that
would end up in a library, basically reusing the JIT, but turning on all
the optimizations for this.

btw, why are exception methods not supported? 

You forgot to include a couple of files, which are links in your
package.
