Subject: More object stuff
Now that objects at least limp along a bit (albeit in a crashy,
hackish way) it's time to look forward a bit.

The code definitely needs some looking at and cleanup. It's not
perfect and I expect it's flawed in a number of places. I'm just
happy to get the damn stuff into the repository so the bytecode tests
can start. Implementation can always change as long as the bytecode
interface stays constant.

If someone'd like to take a shot at making a nice OO wrapper for
Postgres, especially if they'd like to upgrade the postgres interface
to 7.4, I would very much appreciate it. It'd be a nice demo, and a
good start on a DBI module for us. (And yeah, there's an element of
"do my job for me" here. Sorry 'bout that)

If we get objects hammered on and functional, we've met a requirement
for a .1 release. Scary, but true.

For the record, the point release criteria are:

*) Objects
*) Objects with multiple inheritance
*) Exceptions we're happy with
*) Events
*) Fully functional IO
*) Working module system we're happy with

There are more, I expect, but we'll deal with that when we get there.
