Doing an emscripten port would allow us to compile Dylan to JavaScript using our C backend.

An initial patch providing some support for the run-time to compile on Emscripten is available here.

Work that needs to be done:

Add a build script for Emscripten to correctly invoke emcc and the other Emscripten utilities.
Make the platform name work since there's no architecture specified. Perhaps add le32 as an architecture as that's what Emscripten targets.
Not sure what has to happen with all of the linking, shared libraries, etc.
Does the non-threaded version of the run-time still compile / work?
