Re: Version 3.0 ideas

Just a historical FYI. I did a version of the thunk based calls for  
Sdl Perl in around 2k2 and it works ok. The real issue is not the  
several C ABI variants that need to be supported (6 main ones with  
slight variants) the problem is Making some of the calls "perlly".

So if we are ambitious we could do a thunk based approach that  
supports both perl5 and perl6. This past month on another project I  
have written a simplified JIT that can do x86-64 unix C abi calls (it  
is written in straight perl) and it can be modified to support win64  
easily too.

Let me know if people are in favor of this route,  cause if so I'll  
release that code under lgpl3.
