Inline::C works during module load time, so "just-ahead-of-time"
is a better description of it than "just-in-time".  I don't
think "JAOT" is a well-known enough acronym, so it's worth
spelling it out.

 Avoid relying on compiled modules too much.  Even if it is Free,
 compiled code makes packages more expensive to audit, build,
 distribute and verify.  public-inbox itself will only be implemented
-in scripting languages (currently Perl 5) and optional JIT-compiled C

 Do not recurse on user-supplied data.  Neither Perl or C handle
 deep recursion gracefully.  See lib/PublicInbox/SearchThread.pm

While public-inbox is pretty limited without SQLite, we still
support it for v1.

There's no reason to shy away from standard library dependencies
that are bundled with upstream Perl 5.10.1+, either.

Eric Wong (4):
  HACKING: use "just-ahead-of-time" to describe Inline::C
  spawn: merge common C code together
  doc: update dependencies (+Storable, Data::Dumper)
  tests: guard against missing DBD::SQLite
