Sorry, that particular version is not closure-based.

They are. Both the Linux and Windows Exupery VMs have the closure
bytecodes compiled in. They're both build from identical VMMaker
sources.

P.S. Don't use Exupery in a closure image, that'll probably crash. The
issue is both Exupery and closures use the "unused" slot in
MethodContext. I'll update Exupery to work with closure images as part
of the next release.

The Exupery VMs have closures. You can use them on both Windows and
Linux. I released them here to help people test the image without
needing to compile their own VMs.

To summarize: the Exupery VM has closure support for closure images,
use them and things will work ok. Don't try to use the JIT or you will
have problem (but you won't do that accidentally so you shouldn't
care).
