Log:
going to split this one into two working packages.
There are two major tasks which have little to do with
each other.

 Title: Bootstrapping PyPy
 
 - Putting interpreter (WP01_, WP02_) and translator (WP03_) together.
-
-- Ability to translate arbitrary RPython source code (e.g. 
-  the one produced in WP01_ into low-level code (C, Pyrex, Java, others). 
-- Creation of a stand-alone, not-PyPy-related tool for general
-  optimization of arbitrary but suitably restricted Python application or
-  parts thereof.
+- Enhancing the PyPy Design.

-*XXX: This check-in is just temporary*
-
-The interpreter is written as an RPython program. The translator
-has to translate this program into some low-level language.
-The resulting program then needs to be supported by a special
-runtime library. The work-flow of WP04_ is repetitive,
-since it will not be possible to "get it right" in the
-first attempt. Analysis and redesign will have to be
-repeated until the result is satisfactory.
 
 **Part a): Specific Analysis and Redesign**
 
-The global translation of PyPy is going to raise particular
-problems, other than more general RPython programs do.
-Since translation of RPython is the core idea of the
-bootstrap process and the main target of the translator,
-we need to investigate and isolate the
-particular problems, and redesign specific parts of PyPy
-to support translation, code generation and optimzation
-better. This will also include a re-iteration of the interface
-design between application level and interpreter level
-until we reach overall convergence.
+- Investigate the particular problems that the
+  global translation of PyPy is going to raise.
+- Enhance and redesign parts of PyPy as needed
+  to give best support to the translation of RPython.
+- Re-iterate this until we agree to have reached
+  an optimum solution.

 If producing C code is a target, important
 parts can be directly re-used from CPython.
