Write You a Forth, 0x08

After reading some more in Threaded Interpreted Languages (TIL_ from now on),
I've decided to start over.
.. _TIL: http://wiki.c2.com/?ThreadedInterpretiveLanguage
Some design choices that didn't really work out:
+ the system structure
+ not making it easier to test building for different platforms
+ my linked list approach to the dictionary
+ my class-based approach to words
I get the distinct feeling that I could (maybe should) be doing this in C99, so
I think I'll switch to that.
The new design
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'll need to provide a few initial pieces:
1. eval.c
2. stack.c
3. the platform parts
I'll skip the parser at first and hand hack some things, then try to
port over my I/O layer from before.
