Notes

• Unknown values will be replaced with the default value (ex: version: 1.2.3, will become version: 19.12)
• The PicoLisp environment is extracted to /tmp/picoLisp
• 32-bit PicoLisp is always compiled
• 64-bit PicoLisp is bootstrapped from the 32-bit PicoLisp
• 64-bit PicoLisp will not be compiled if the architecture value is src
• pil21 technically only works on 64-bit architectures
