What Forsyth failed to point out, somewhat ingenuously I think,
is that the free download doesn't *really* give you all you need
to run Charon in an arbitrary environment; you're restricted to
Plan 9 (i386), FreeBSD (i386), NT (i386), (pre-2.4) Linux (i386),
Solaris (sparc), Hp-ux, or Irix.
It does include the source code for Charon, but not the source code
for the virtual machine under which Charon runs. There, you're out
of luck if your platform is not binary-compatible with one of the
provided binaries.
