Actually, all my larger programs (for which making a turnkey is a good 
idea) use the compiler in a way that has to be exposed to the end user.  
Maybe not exposed in the sense of "the end user will write text files 
with Forth code", but it would have been possible.

Example: the GUI for the digital audio amplifier at Zetex has a 
scripting capability, and the scripts are simply fed into the Forth 
interpreter (with compiler enabled).  Once, there was the question "if 
you desing a filter, can you export the coefficients for all typical 
sample rates, i.e. 32k/44.1k/48k/88.1k/96k/192k?  And the answer was a 
slightly more complicated than usual script to do that.

The solution in my case: don't ship a turnkey, put the entire program 
under GPL.
