     new capabilities in prims (e.g., automatic handling of the return
     stack and instruction stream).
   
   New threaded code execution method: primitive-centric (allows the
     following), hybrid direct/indirect threaded (easier portability),
     with dynamic superinstructions (typical speedup on Athlon: factor
     2).  New engine gforth-itc for dealing with some
     backwards-compatibility problems (see "Invoking Gforth" in the
