probably broken. However, what's there should be sufficient to get things
done and to evaluate how the full 6.0 release should work.
This is a fork from the original repository found on sourceforge. This
fork exist for three reason, the first is I strongly prefere git than
mercurial (this is a personal preference) and second I want to make it
work on Mac OS X but the OSX clang/gcc does not really like the K&R
syntax, so I take into the process of ANSIfy it. The third reason is why
I want to use the ACK, it support old CPU, like the 6502 or i8080, i8086
and it is open source unlike a lot of compiler we can found nowadays for
such targets, and it support more than C that is a wonderfull bonus!
I have plan to add targets like the NES, add support for the 65c816 and
add the SNES target, add the WonderSwan as a target and so on. I see in
this compiler kit a wonderfull project for all sort of old computer that
are still used nowadays and used CPU that are no longuer targeted by
modern compilers.
I plan to push my changes on the original version, at least for the new
targets and cpu.
