Hrm, we should probably be using the request tracker to manage these

I'll look at it in the morning.

cool and easy to develop and maintain and all that, but we have to remember
what we're trying to achieve: I want Parrot out there, on as many machines as
possible, being run and tested and fiddled with. I don't want to force people
to have to install more than they need to; we're already bundling Test::More
to make it easier for people, and if we develop in Inline::C, we'd have to
ship Inline as well.
(Unless Ingy did do the Inline->XS compiler thing that means you don't have
to ship Inline any more, in which case, go for it!)
But then I'm one of those weird critters who doesn't understand what all the
complaining over XS is about. :) I'd be happy to do the XS coding if it came
down to it.
