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.

Not sure I know that much, but we'll see.
Thanks,
