the cps transformer has recently been removed (though i may add it
back it if others are interested in using it) and replaced with an
interpreter. this removed many of the limitations of the transformer
though the qualification "ad-hog, bug ridden implementation of half of
call/cc" still applies. in particular we now support multiple values,
standard method combination and serializing continuations (well, it's
possible, but not yet implemented).

i would strongly suggest grabbing the latest version of arnesi from
the darcs repo and using the interpreter.
