Hmm, not to be contrary, but isn't this basically what emu does
already? It provides a dis interpreter, plus modules which map native
limbo services into native Plan 9 services (eg, a call to Sys->open()
gets mapped into open(2)). Maybe I'm missing something.

(ps- I think that a native limbo compiler would be sweet; but I too
fear that it would go the way Alef did.)
