Re: jvm

Not that I know of.

I think there's some documentation on the old mit-ai site about compiling
Dylan for Java, but the JVM lacks multimethod support and other good stuff,
so Dylan probably wouldn't compile optimally for the JVM. C-- has been
suggested as a better target.

Gwydion Dylan has a bytecode system called Mindy, used to bootstrap the d2c
Dylan-to-C compiler, but it's a very different VM to the Java one.
