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...
