Hitachi HD6303 target.

[John Carter <john dot carter at tait dot co dot nz>]

I have been given the opportunity to create a cross compiler to ye olde 16 
bit Hitachi HD 6303 CPU.

It's best known incarnation is probably the Psion Organizer II (although I 
would be using it in a weird embedded thing).

Allegedly it is similar in instruction set to the Motorola 6805

Questions to the list:
- Wild guess as to the number of man days to do such a thing?
- Is there any C compiler for this thing?
- Is there any gcc port or partial port for this thing?
- Is there any gcc port or partial port for the 6805?
- Given that this is a slow, register starved, tiny memory space (64k 
  address space) beastie, would targetting gcc to it be the right thing? 
  Or would it better / easier to use something like Small C?
- Would it be easier retarget a forth implementation?
