=head1 Lorito - A minimal VM prototype

This is Lorito, a minimal VM prototype. It was started as a refactoring of
the core of ParrotVM.

=head2 Building Lorito

Lorito is written in C. The Lorito assembler is written in perl.
Today, Lorito is not written at all portable. It assumes 32-bit, x86 linux.
That will change eventually.
A simple F<Makefile> is included, so running C<make> will produce the lorito
executable.

=head2 Running Lorito

lasm.pl < file.lasm > file.ito
lorito file.ito

Currently Lorito is a two step process. First you have to take an lasm file
and produce a Lorito Bytecode file (C<.ito>). This is done with the lasm.pl
tool. Once you have an C<.ito> you can use the compiled lorito executable
to run the bytecode.
