I've been playing with embedding Parrot and trying to pass arbitrary PIR code
to the embedded interpreter. The easiest approach I've found so far is to
create a small eval.pbc file that takes one argument in argv as PIR code to
eval and execute.

(There should really be easier approaches, but I digress.)

Unfortunately, it appears that there is no PIR compiler available to embedded
Parrot. I'll check in a test to t/src/extend.t as soon as I get a bug number
here. My PIR code is:

.sub main :main
.param pmc argv
.local int argc

.local pmc compiler
compiler = compreg 'PIR'

.local string code
code = argv[1]

.local pmc new_sub
new_sub = compiler( code )

new_sub()
.end

The PIR compiler is registered within imcc_init(), which should
probably called automagically during Parrot init sequence. See also
compilers/imcc/main.c.

Okay, here's the patch I checked in as #13066. The IMCC headers need some
cleanup. Andy?
