> 2. Some compiler we can start from 

Some possibilities for proceeding with HAC:
a. Adapt code generation to 8051 (it would create a branch of the HAC source...).
b. More ambitious: make the code generation multi-target using an abstraction.
c. A just-in-time compiler that translates p-code (the HAC VM code) to 8051.

For a. and b. the ideal point to consider is the HAC_Sys.Compiler.PCode_Emit package.
