My rationale for "-sim" was that the mmixware simulator is the canonical
one and "-sim" is already recognized in config.sub, but I agree.

If no-one has an even better rationale for another configuration name, 
"mmix-knuth-mmixware" it'll be.  I guess nobody disagrees on "mmix" as a
alias for this.
