Good!  Because I wasn't ;)

Fixed.

Fixed.

> 3. I can't find an obvious way to initialize global variables, so I try superPush, which gives a runtime error:

You're actually doing it right, unless you wanted to instantiate the
wrapped MiniD class, in which case it'd be more like:

   pushGlobal(t, "Foo"); // get the global class Foo
   pushNull(t); // make room for 'this'
   rawCall(t, -2, 1); // call the class to instantiate it (1 return
for the instance)
   newGlobal(t, "myfoo"); // save it in the global myfoo


> minid.types.MDException: <no location available>: newInstance - expected 'class' for base, not 'null'

Fixed.

This code now works, just svn up your MiniD installation :)
