Nice.  The distro also includes an interesting collection of Forth code
(applications, libraries, conversions of classic old Basic games, etc).
Compiling the C code took just a few seconds.  I played with it a few
minutes.  I had never used a traditional Forth screen editor before, so
that was fun.  I didn't figure out how to get an interactive prompt that
would let me define new functions.  I got one that allowed interpreting
stuff, but typing new colon definitions didn't work.

Compiled size of the program on 32-bit linux is around 65k, which seems
kind of large, but ok.  I wonder how well it would work on one of those
little ARM development boards (Freescale STM32 or so) or how much
porting would be needed.
