De-obfuscated JSLinux
=========================================================
I wanted to understand how the amazing [JsLinux][1] worked. However, Mr Bellard seems to have applied a decidedly french proclivity towards obfuscatory algorithmic prose, replete with two-letter variable names and the like...

### Stats
It's still absolutely ungainly, but not nearly so ungainly as the original. About a third to a half of the variables/function names have been redescribed.
