I'm not.. but the UQBT project has a dynamic portion that takes over when
that happens.the dynamic translator is the work of David Ung and there is
also a retargetable interpreter written by an honours student this year
that also deals with the jumping into untranslated code. From the java
perspective, there was some talk of a dynamic java binary translator that
didn't eventuate.
