-*** mes.c: a Scheme interpreter prototyped in C ~3000 Lines
+*** mes.c: a Scheme interpreter in ~5,000LOC of simple C
*** mescc: a C compiler written in Scheme (uses Nyacc C99 parser in Scheme)
*** mes.M2: this Scheme interpreter in preprocessed M2
** have tcc-boot compile gnutools triplet: binutils-2.14, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.5.
** have tcc-boot's mes-tcc compile a fully functional tcc
** hex.0, hex.1, M0
-** M1, hex2_linker prototyped in C
+** M1, hex2_linker in simple C
** M2-Planet is now self-hosting, written in M2
** mes+mescc are mutual self-hosting
** patched tcc compiled with mes+mescc
- add x86_64, replace GuixSD's bootstrap binaries for x86_64.
- more architectures (does GuixSD require this, i.e. before 1.0?).
** DONE
+*** 0.16.1 Mes now has info docs and installs ootb on Debian buster/testing.
*** 0.16 Mes Lib C now bootstraps glibc-2.2.5, binutils-2.20.1, gcc-4.1.0.
*** 0.15: MesCC now has a libc+gnu that supports compiling binutils-2.14, gcc-2.95.3 and glibc-2.2.5.
*** 0.14: Mes+MesCC now compiles a slightly patched self-hosting tcc.

Guile's [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/master/guile.html/PEG-Parsing.html][PEG]] --and test suite just barely enough to support a simple
