The module aims to provide portable interface to virtual memory

and allocating executable memory should be easily accessible.

In general the task is next to impossible and therefore capabilities of 
the current OS are captured into manifest constant to allow for 
conditional adaptation to them (static ifs etc).

As it is a runtime module and not Phobos, I'd be willing to volunteer - but only quite some time later (probably about 1 month). Ping me via e-mail if no one else comes by that time.
