Thanks. I will do so next week. I am at a conference this week.

Was there a consensus on the which of the following routes we take.

1) Add arm32JIT.cpp and keep thumb2.cpp

2) Add arm32JIT.cpp and delete thumb2.cpp

(or maybe just call it armJIT.cpp since it supports both 16/32 bit)

3) Replace the existing thumb2.cpp with the arm32JIT.cpp

(in this case the name is a misnomer).

I have no strong feelings on any of the above 3.

Ed.
