Oh, and if you don't feel like doing this now, it's not a problem. gb.jit
adds a just-in-time compiler for Gambas bytecode. This component is purely
optional and will "just" speed up execution (of appropriate code).

You can go ahead without gb.jit, compile, install and run Gambas -- all of
it! (Except for some benchmarks of... the JIT compiler.)
