Okay, it's time to address this. It's damned useful to be able to pass in initialization data to a PMC--much more sensible to do it all in one go, rather than separate new/init methods. And, unfortunately that's somewhat problematic at the moment, as there are all sorts of reasonable ways to pass in init data. So, time for a decision. Or, rather, reopening of the discussion.

*unless* someone comes up with a Better Idea (this is your chance!), lets go with two init methods. The first takes no parameters, as the plain init does now, and builds an empty PMC. The seconds assumes its parameters are in the registers, with standard calling conventions, and goes from there.
