That's what I was thinking of - my plan was to use the bytecode
interpreter on 32-bit to make sure it worked, then do a
quick-and-dirty port to get it running, then look at options for the
64-bit code generation, in an attempt to have something running at
each step to make sure it works. But I never got past "get the
interpreter working" stage. In hindsight I should have just gone
straight to the next step.
