Now that I've gotten commit access, I've finally sorted my code into a
logical commit sequence and pushed it to the `nick.lloyd-bytecode-jit'
branch.  I intend to do some more work on cleaning it up and
streamlining it, but it's been recently merged with master and is
available for testing/review.

Also, I did make an attempt to modify this code to use libgccjit instead
of libjit, with some success.  It was able to run Burton's ray-tracer
test in batch mode a few seconds faster than the libjit version, but
running Emacs in interactive mode caused an abort in gcc.  I haven't had
much time to investigate that so I've decided to stick with libjit for
now.

I would certainly appreciate any and all feedback.

Thanks,
Nick
