While I'd love to see the Gambas interpreter and components available in a 
statically linked form that could be embedded with a project into a 
self-contained executable file (as with Tcl and Python), I really question 
whether the performance increase produced by native code compilation would 
be enough to justify dealing with all the issues it would cause.  The vast 
majority of what Gambas does is calling external libraries which are 
already native code.
