SYS:RUN-PROGRAM does not work on pre-Java7 JVMs (was Re: abcl-1.4.0 released)

[Alessio Stalla]

I don't care for 1.6 compatibility.

Personally I'd like to see the compiler generate more modern bytecode
(which is loaded more quickly btw because the verification phase is
lighter) and I wouldn't mind if it used ASM or other established bytecode
generation libraries rather than mucking with bytes by itself.
