  Some other compilers do, too.  The #patchInterp: in thing
does the, err, patching intepret loop for PowerPC.

  What I did for SH-3 version of Squeak is generate the
assembly file (.s file) and remove the range check
instructions by a short program written in Emacs Lisp:-)

  I always wanted to do the similar thing for the WinCE/ARM
VM.  But the current "release" versions are not patched at
all.  For people who are curious, please try to do it and
let me know how you do it:-)
