Okay, patch is included below. Here are the relevant times from the gc
bench suite:

I'm currently doing it dynamically. Get it working, then someone can do
nice configure probing. :) Tur
PLATFORM_STACK_WALK around
it. Call the function DOD_walk_stack or something, and that way if
someone needs a special version they can put it in their platform.c

Okay, anyone up for this? Should be fairly trivial--take the address
of an auto variable in runops, store it in the interpreter, take the
address of *another* auto variable in the GC, and walk the contiguous
chunk of memory between, looking for valid PMC and Buffer pointers.
Anyone?
