Hello,

this wwwdocs change announces the new m68k-uclinux target and
the ColdFire improvements.

I will try to give some information to motivate this patch:

So far, the experimental GCC 3.3.1 and 3.4 binary packages for uClinux
have been downloaded from my site 392 times.  Considering that this
toolchain was still unofficial and experimental, it's quite a large
number.

Integrating the patches took over 150 hours in two months for me,
mostly because I wasn't initially confident with the code and
GCC's development process.

As for Peter Barada (ColdFire improvements) and Paul Dale
(XIP support), I don't know for sure, but I can extimate
a few more man/months of work.
