As stated before, the Darwin port has an assembly related issue left
unfixed. More than testers, we need someone with some Darwin background and
assembly knowledge so that issue could be fixed.

> Pop11 is incrementally compiled to machine code. Since the compiler

> available to users. On this basis it proved possible to provide
> incremental compilers also for Common Lisp, Prolog, and Standard ML.
> Other languages can also be implemented.

> It's also possible to use the same techniques to extend Pop11.
