I'm guessing it will take me a few weeks, maybe less,
to tidy things up and do an alpha release.

I will probably have to (eventually) remove the code that knows how to
decrypt bound and shrouded programs. If I open that small bit of
source, it will become useless, and will offend people who thought 
their programs would be highly secure.
Even without this added encryption, programs are fairly hard to figure out, 
since in 2.5 it's just a bunch of IL, and in earlier releases it's
code with variables renamed, comments stripped, etc.
I guess I'll have to "deprecate" that feature (i.e. maybe support it
using a non-open subroutine for this release, but eventually 
discontinue it. I'm open to suggestion on this.
