Great news!

(BTW, Keisuke's last release was labeled 0.5, IIRC.  There are links in
`README'.)

Use Gmane!  :-)

Besides, I think we need to consider providing proper alignment for
instructions, i.e., 32-bit alignment.  I recall a paper about a VM
implementation that indicated this would noticeably improve performance
on most architectures.

Besides, having variable-size instructions is also questionable, as
storage is no longer a scarce resource.
