Subject: [ANN] rubydium 0.3 and nanovm 0.1

as i reached a target speed last night here's another long delayed 
release.
this is a complete rewrite of the first rubydium.

libjit usage has been replaced with a stable c extension:
	http://www.lypanov.net/xml/development/nanovm.xml (slightly older 
snapshot)

summary of changes:
	stackless - thereby giving yield/block iterators
	pure ruby virtual machine replacing libjit, and nanovm, its c 
counterpart
	several high level optimizations (cps for return, specialized method 
call dispatch)

for more information:
    http://www.lypanov.net/rubydium-0.3.pdf (read best in acrobat or 
preview.app)
	
code available from the darcs repo: (not yet fully merged, work in 
progress :))
    darcs get --partial http://www.lypanov.net/repos/rubydium-mirror

any feedback welcome,
to those that have helped me get this far: *thank you*
Alex
