   5 minutes (Armin)

    the previous technqiues will be used internally to translate PyPy 
    to low level languages.  In particular we aim for: 
    (the primary point is NOT to systematically translate your own programs!)

    - self-contained PyPy version before end 2005 

    - stackless and psyco/JIT-compilation in 2006! 

    - tool for building custom PyPy versions by end 2006
