Backport update

[Rémi Forax]

I've updated the backport (1.3) to be in sync with the current mlvm status.
http://code.google.com/p/jvm-language-runtime/downloads/list

It supports lightweight CallSite, invokeExact, invokeGeneric but
the support of new ldc is not ready (I need a new version of ASM
and currently some regression tests failed).

invokeGeneric does a real invokeGeneric or at least I think it does :)
invokeExact is an alias for invokeGeneric.
