Well he should give up on winning the Smallest Compiler contest and instead
go for the "Most Useful Language" contest. He'll never win smallest compiler
since typical Forth language compilers are about 1k byte. As long as the
compiler fits on *my* machine *I* don't care how big or small it is as long
as it saves me programming/debugging time!
