Objects need still further work, initializer, finalizers, and the
TODO diamond inheritance test (hint, hint :)

Yes. Simplifies .ops file writing a bit.

I won't have much time, 2 conferences here in Austria in the next 2

So if someone wants to have a look at patches mmd_vtables 9 and 10 just
go ahead. The only missing bits are the general DISPATCH_<function> macro
and some dispatch function prototypes. The rest should be more or less
some cut'n'paste work.

Yep. When these nasty ICU build issues are sorted out, then its 0.1.1
time.

Thanks for looking through it,
