So far I have managed to get integer operations working with +=*/% operators and 
"if" and "while" constructs. I'm working outside of the tree as it is much 
easier to test this way. If anyone wants to have a look then here is my current 
status. Obviously this is work in progress code so is incredibly messy and all 
over the place with no naming scheme. You may need to edit the Makefile to point 
to the plymouth include dir etc.

I still need to do strings, floats, functions, a method of wrapping C functions 
and storing links to C objects.
