Hi Tom,

This looks very promising! Thanks a lot :)

I compiled and installed libjit, and things seem to build fine here.  
Benchmarking a simple loop yields an impressive 4x speedup (from 1 second down 
to 0.25s).  However, benchmarking a larger application seems to yield a 30% 
slowdown (from 5.5s to 7.5s).  I haven't investigated why yet.  Have you seen 
similar variations?

Cheers,
Clément.
