Cool!

rtoy was kind enough to lisppaste a sparc example:

http://www.common-lisp.net/paste/display/1018

My thought is that the loadw form will work as is, andn needs to be
replaced with andi followed by not.  That is just a shot in the
dark.  I haven't had a chance to read the Enhanced PowerPC
Architecture PDF I downloaded from IBM yet.  I have GAS docs included
with Apple's Xcode distribution.  The PPC opcodes are all enumerated
but there is no real explaination as to what exactly they all do
(although some are fairly obvious).  Add to that the fact that inst
has its own ideas about naming opcodes.

If I can knock that out today, I will.  If someone beats me to it,
that's fine also.
