If DJ is to include the CGEN source files, I think we will need a new
top-level cpu directory (like src/cpu). In fact, these two directories
might as well be synchronised as other top-level directories are.
We have never encountered this situation before because this is the
first time that CGEN has generated something compiled into GCC.
