I read Ryan's mail as an attempt to get involved in some 
compiler-development. And he's wondering what a nice task could be.

Can't we think of something? Maybe he can help with the last parts of 
the modules-support from Sven.
Or with the merges of the Attributes branche that I once started. 
Although I know that it's high on Sven's todo-list.

Maybe both topics are to difficult. But maybe something else? Some 
optimisation?

Joost.
