Image Segments perhaps? The packages at the very core (ie, those that
are required by the compiler) should probably be stored in some object
based storage (rather than source code) right? At a minimum, you would
have the base image without the compiler, and the compiler would be
stored as an image segment (or some other binary object storage
scheme). Maybe you could use stdin for loading objects into the image
to minimize the I/O support required.
388K is a great accomplishment...can you release the work so far as an
alpha release so that people can start tinkering with it?
