Invoking the compiler with an AST? [message #1285589]

Is it possible to invoke the compiler with an AST and have it produce the bytecode? If I understand correctly, there's a public AST that is used by the IDE, and an internal AST used by the compiler. I think I found the internal AST, but I'm a bit lost in the compiler code. Could someone get me headed in the right direction? A hello world example would be even better Smile
