embedding initialization
Jeff Horwitz
loaded bytecode using Parrot_readbc/loadbc, i can then successfully call
the PIR compiler and eval code at will from C/Haskell. great!
however, without the Parrot_readbc step, everything bombs out because the
packfile isn't set up correctly. and after looking at packfile.c and
embed.c, it's obvious there's a lot more i need to do than just creating a
new packfile.
do we have the ability to do this right now or should there be another
function that performs this initialization for us? we'll most certainly
need this for things like "perl -e" one-liners. in the short term, i can
use a no-op .pbc file to bootstrap with, but i imagine there's a more
elegant solution out there.

I'll try to create a source test (e.g. t/src/compiler.t) with the
necessary steps. It will probably need some clarification in which of
embed.h | extend.h (if any) such APIs should go.

t/src/compiler.t has now all the steps to run a PIR code string from C.
It's not elegant though, because there are no APIs, but it should make
things running.

using. thanks for the quick turnaround, leo.
