The binder is designed to only work with the RDS
PD interpreter. It would not work with someone else's
modified PD interpreter, and they would not be permitted
to make it work (since that's a feature that we would likely
be selling). Shrouding might work with someone's
modified interpreter, if the changes were relatively minor.

Yes. If you weren't already registered for the Translator,
you could remove the message and delay from
the run-time library source and thereby 
get most of the value of registering the Translator.

Look at it this way: registered Euphoria users will 
pay less than other people for the source. 
Those Python and Perl people who are
dying to know how Euphoria can be 40x faster, will have
to register Euphoria (interpreter and translator) before 
they pay for the source.
