i don't worry myself with licensing issues just
choose the technicallly most sound approach. i'm
sure that my work could be retargetted for another
jitting backend later on and the license changed
so i'd prefer not to get into the licensing game
at all. for the moment i just want to prove that
the basic method is sound.
