I've got your paperwork now, so we can start to move forward on this
patch.  (I'll be making a copy and forwarding it to RMS immediately).

I was going to benchmark it on spec92, but it doesn't apply to the
current egcs sources.  Any chance you could update the patch and
resubmit it?

Let's get the movXX patterns dealt with first, then move on to the
scheduling patch.

Thanks!
