[vmkit-commits] J3 crushes on HelloWorld

[nicolas geoffray]

Yes, I don't like macros either, and we should absolutely get rid of them in
VMKit.

To answer your question on VMKit's roadmap, here is at least mine from
shorter to longer term:
- Support copying and generational collectors of MMTk in J3: we are almost
there
- Re-factor VMKit to better be a VM framework
- Re-write N3

Any help towards that roadmap is greatly appreciated :)
