OK, ENOUGH is ENOUGH. I'm sick of burning the midnight oil doing Manx
conversions of Lattice programs (and getting ticked off at Lattice for
not following the ANSI spec all the way). I'm sure other people are doing
the same thing in reverse and getting ticked off at Manx for some of their
more outre' function calls (fexec, for example).

Hows about some of us get together and write a couple of libraries that
automate this? We'd also need blink--make and make--blink tools, and something
to convert Lattice's __chip declarations and Manx' #pragmas.

Alternatively, we could hold some Manx and SAS emplyees to ransom until
they bury the hatchet... :->
