I wish I had any idea what I was doing when it came to language 
interpreters and compilers... These swiss-army-nukes epitomize "no kill 
like overkill", but I prefer small, single-purpose tools.

A new lightweight C compiler with a focus on various varieties of x86 is 
something I think would be useful and would do if I had any idea how to go 
about it.
