A lot of S.R.Emit is already implemented (e.g. method code output should
be done). The major TODO items remaining are:

        - Custom attributes
                I don't remember anything about these, so I don't know how much
trouble these will be.

        - Resources
                Engine support was lacking at the time I was hacking
on SRE, but I think that's been fixed, so it should just require the
right lib_emit.c glue to get it going.

        - Running dynamically generated code
                Engine support is still lacking, afaik. Some things aren't 
saved in
the engine's image format, only in the dll/exe output, so some design
changes in pnet/image/ will be needed. Rhys will probably have to do
this, because there's a lot of stuff in there that only Rhys will ever
understand.
