[racket] Racket in a browser?

Hi All,

An interesting LLVM to JavaScript compiler called Emscripten has just
been released.

    http://syntensity.blogspot.com/2011/04/emscripten-10.html

Maybe this could be used to make Racket-in-browser?

Is it feasible to compile the non-jit version of Racket with
Emscripten or is there
some obvious obstacles?

If not the idea is would make a nice Racket project for someone.
Say, Project Bracket (=BrowserRacket).

It goes without saying, that the solution won't be fast, but it might be
fast enough. At least the demo (a pdf-renderer in JavaScript works
reasonable fast).
