I'm flying back from Foreignistan to Edinburgh on Thursday, so I may consider hanging about for a couple of hours and joining in.

My experience has been that you can make it barely harder than writing an interpreter as long as you already know how to write a compiler and have most of a compiler already handy. So, yes, I agree, but I'm willing to rant more on the topic in the pub if you and I both make it :).
