It shouldn't be a huge problem to write a php script to generate the
different executors from a source file. If you're worried about
bootstrapping, we can keep the generated files in CVS and/or bundle
them pre-generated in the distro.
Yeah, actually Dmitry wrote a script that converted the old executor
into the new executor, so the script was already there. I think its
that Andi doesn't like the concept (I do like the concept btw), not the
work involved. Personally, I'd prefer to see the executor generated, so
long as the source format is well thought-out. Cause it will allow us
to do things like, for example, generating an x86 JIT.
