Description:

a refactored complex method - originally found in ByteCodeCompiler.

Class protocol:

 stcPathOf: command

return the path to an stc command, or nil if not found.

 initialize

Instance protocol:

 cFileName: something

 incrementalStcPath

return the path to the stc command for incremental method compilation,
or nil if not found.

 originator: something

 parserFlags: something

 stFileName: something

 compileToMachineCode: aString forClass: aClass selector: selector inCategory: categoryArg notifying: requestorArg install: install skipIfSame: skipIfSame silent: silent

this is called to compile primitive code.
This is EXPERIMENTAL and going to be changed to raise an error,
an redefined in subclasses which can do it (either by direct compilation, or by calling
the external stc do do it).

 compileToC

compile st to C using stc

 compileToExe

compile C to exe, using cc

 compileToObj

compile C to obj, using cc
