Stanislav Sedov 0eb557b841 - Add port for lang/stalin, an aggressive optimizing Scheme compiler, which
is able to outperform hand-written C in a number of tests.
  This is a modified version suitable to use on FreeBSD i386/amd64.
  It possible to run it on other platfroms as well, but I have not
  boostrapped/tested it on anything except i386/amd64 yet.

Stalin (STAtic Language ImplementatioN) is an aggressive optimizing batch
whole-program Scheme compiler written by Jeffrey Mark Siskind. It uses
advanced flow analysis and type inference and a variety of other optimization
techniques to produce code (using C as an intermediate language) that is
extremely fast, particularly for numerical code. In a number of tests it
has outperformed hand-written C, sometimes by a considerable margin.
Stalin is intended for production use in generating an optimized executable.
