I still haven't received any feedback about the new VM architecture. A 
while back it seemed very important to people here to be able to give 
feedback but I haven't heard from a soul.
Basically I suggest trying out the new implementation, looking at the two 
different implementations and giving feedback as to which one is more 
suitable for PHP 5.1. I'd like to make a decision sometime soon because it 
gets hard to maintain these big patches outside the CVS repository.
Thanks,

Andi

The script approach is much cleaner than the MACROs. Maintaining the script
won't be a lot of extra work. It's a shame computed gotos arent more widely
supported.
