About:
Clue is an experimental ANSI C compiler that targets high level dynamic
languages like Lua, JavaScript, Python, and Perl. It is designed to be very
easy to adapt to new targets. It is currently under development and is more
interesting than useful, although it is complete enough to run several
benchmarking tools (including Whetstone).

Changes:
This version supports Javascript, Lua, and Perl backends. C compiled to Lua
runs at about one fifth of native speed (using Mike Pall's LuaJIT engine),
while when compiled to JavaScript it runs at 1/80th of native speed (using
SpiderMonkey). Perl's speed is rather less good. Not all of the C language
is covered. Notable omissions are switch and varargs, but enough is there
to be interesting.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements
