Thanks, this is great. This VM is slightly slower than the ones built with 
the old 2.95 gcc (bytecodes ~5%, sends ~22% according to tinyBenchmarks). 
Did you use the latest MinGW?

The VM also has support for all mirror primitives and the new network 
code which is great, though I found some weakness in the new network code.
