Looks right. I've been reading a talk from Daniel Friedman's home page:

    http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~dfried/
    http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~dfried/dfried/mex.pdf

I haven't fully got it yet but it's easy to read and suitable for other
neophytes on the list. I had previously incorrectly thought that a
trampoline was a way of simulating a closure with a function pointer in C.

Thanks Mike and Alistair.
