#2: &key argument parsing must be fixed

The current compiler and run-time is not conformant wrt. parsing &key
arguments. In particular, unknown keywords are just ignored, and both
&allow-other-keys and :allow-other-keys are ignored.

#1: Mechanism to create/compile "fasl" blobs and load them at run-time
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------

The cross-compiler environment should be able to produce fasl-like files
that can be dynamically loaded by a running movitz kernel. The fasl would
be transported e.g. by some simple network protocol (tftp), or a
(simulated) block-device, or perhaps even a (simulated) serial port.
This feature would serve a number of purposes:
* Separate the "kernel" as such from other software
components/applications. Currently , everything needs to be compiled
together in a single image.
* Facilitate systems that grow beyond the size of what fits on a floppy.
While it is currently possible to use grub to load bigger images e.g. from
HD, floppy images are much more convenient to work with.
* Enable dynamic recompilation of functions, i.e. without dumping and
rebooting the image. This is really an essential aspect of any lisp
system, and it's a shame really that it's not been fixed already.
