Just a thought, have you seen Philip Koopmans' paper on stack optimization ?

Been thinking about having a deeper look at this (as usual, when I get 
some free time... :) in particular for the F21. If this is grandmother 
and egg-sucking time, my apologies, just getting into MISC. Any road
up, this port sounds blobby interesting, any chance of any info on
how/what you're doing - don't know if I can help but I fancy getting
my hands dirty on something like this.
Have fun
