It can compile to a "stand alone" binary (not requiring an interpreter
or source). The actual executable can be linked either statically or
dynamically to the various runtime libraries.

It can also generate static and shared libraries, which can be used
either with stand alone applications, or as compiled web applications
run directly from apache.

Also included is a complete interpreter for running code 'on the fly',
just as Zend PHP does (from both command line and from the web).

Hopefully once we've released the final product, we'll have time to
schedule a presentation!
