People have written apps and libs in RPython at several points in its
history.  And while i find it perfectly acceptable and fine for PyPy core devs 
to not want to care for usage of RPython for non-interpreter purposes i 
am a bit tired of this ever ongoing competition of expressing dis-interest
and uttering discouraging statements.
