Subject: Grokking the C code

Hello.

Last few days I've been spending parts of the evenings digging into
Ruby's C code. I'm trying to get a basic idea of how everything works,
both to learn and to introduce some tweaks in the language (just for
my personal enjoyment). I'm finding that as a big bite, though. Can
you guys recommend me how to tackle the whole thing? And is there some
basic overview of how the code works (for example, how eval.c works
and what are the frame, tag, iter and so on structs) from which I get
get the big idea?
