Hi Brent.

SableVM is not yet able to run programs (as you may have discovered
already), but it is quite close to it.  Mainly, what is missing is the
native implementation of VM specific classes required by
classpath/sablepath.  (System, Runtime, Thread, etc.)  Also, there are a
few missing bytecodes (wide, multianewarray,...).  So, you may expect to
be able to run simple benchmarks/toy programs soon.

In the last 3 weeks, I wasn't working on the VM, because I had other
research matters to attend to (like presenting a paper at SAS200, and
doing some related work).  I am now working full time on the VM, so
things should progress roundly.

Given the structure of the VM, it should be easy to extend the
instruction set, if this is what you are looking for.
