Pugs now embeds Parrot.

Because I want to embed PGE in Pugs, I end up embedding the entire libparrot. :-) As of two hours ago, if you set the PUGS_EMBED environment variable to "parrot" and run perl Makefile.PL, Pugs will build and link against Parrot, and provide a require_parrot() primitive for you. JIT works as one o
