The fact that you have customers looking for a code generator does prove 
there is a demand.  By surely the nice is small (all be profitable)?

On my usual platform (Solaris) the native compiler with all of it's

than hand optimising assembly language.  I'm sure the same applies to 
other hosted environments.
