Change History:
v0.7
	Shortened EOR ABS by one clock cycle.
	Fixed the instantiation of RAM in testsuite.vhd.
	Fixed a small problem with sim/makeall.tcl.
	Removed old and outdated references to conversions.vhd.

v0.6
	Added HTML files to the distribution ZIP file.
	Uses the Free-RAM core (included) for the testsuite.
	Fixed a bug in mcgen_verilog that caused errors in the verilog code.

	
v0.5
	Changed the directory structure. 
	Improved Makefiles.
	Fixed several bugs reguarding BRK and status flags.
	Fixed bugs reguarding some addressing modes.
	test.asm tests for the fixed bugs.
	Now the following flags have this status at reset:
		D = 0
		I = 1
		Other flags = Undefined
	Cleaned up the code a little.
	
v0.4
	Now included with the distribution are a couple of tools for
	modifying the microcode source files and generating the VHDL
	and Verilog source of this microcode.
	Fixed a bug with branches and negative relative PC offsets
	Fixed a bug with TXS
	Fixed a bug with SBC Immediate
