181
182         Paolo reports today that the Mono JIT on the PowerPC was able
183         to successfully run the Mono C# compiler to build its first
184         programs.  This is by no means complete (exception handling is
185         missing, and Boehm GC seems to fail on MacOS X), this shows
186         the excellent progress Paolo has been making.
187
188         Zoltan has added support for modules to MCS (generation and
189         consumption).
