Fixes #2. This set of commits changes the public api to allow using ocaml-jit as a mechanism similar to dynlink (or eval in dynamic languages). Instead of init_top we expose jit_load and jit_lookup_symbol. Additionally I expose Symbols, Address and Globals in order to be able to pass symbols from external libraries (eventually I'd like to remove Global.symbols and pass them to jit_load, which should also make unloading easier).

I also added a simple eval example. It uses quite a bit of OCaml's internal apis (although not much more than ocaml-jit itself). I'm not sure how maintainable it will be between compiler changes, but it should serve as a nice demonstration.
