SpecTest updates

It's been about 4 and a half months since the last "official" spec test run -- partcl was offline for most of that time.

I've finally caught back up with parrot development, can build against svn-latest, an installed parrot, have added a few minor features.

We've lost several files (See http://code.google.com/p/partcl/wiki/SpecTestStatus). I'm running the tests on a machine with a 0.5G ram limit - previously these were running on a machine with no virtual memory limit, so they'd be able to complete. I've opened a ticket with the parrot developers for the biggest parrot memory leak I was able to find with a "hello word" in partcl (See https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/ticket/732). Hopefully they can get that and some other leaks closed.

So, since a lot has changed (including the hardware) between those last two runs, there's not much to compare directly. I'll try to get more, regular updates going forward.

Edit: Actual Spectest results
