I have looked at this ... it's really ughly IL code . It has a huge array
which it uses like C uses RAM . Not pretty , fast, stable or useful. I
ended up leaving the bugs out.

Until we have a HUGE stack to allocate the array needed for the apps ,
this project is impossible. Also it's pretty much useless as our Managed
C compiler generates better code which is faster by about 5-6 times.

Also this does not allow calling C# methods from C , which is another
thing cscc-c-s has .
