[ale] OT: C++ -> 6800 assembly language translator

[Jeff Hubbs]

Actually, if you understood the 68000 and the 6800 instruction sets pretty
well, wouldn't it be fairly straightforward (albeit tedious) to write a
68000->6800 machine language translator?  If you did, you could use gcc to
kick out 68000 code and just pipe the output to your translator.
