    Right, there is no real need to add command line options, but the code 
is not yet fully tested. Well, the port needs a lot more work so this is probably
not a problem (you're right!)

    I do not understand why that happened. I use the cvs command:

    sdcc/src/# cvs -z9 diff -p > /tmp/sdcc.diffs

To make the diffs, it should have added the diffs at SDCCglobal.h too. I did add
the options.no_movff and options.gen_banksel variables. Should I create the
diffs in a different way?

Ok, I'll remove the no_movff option with the next patch. The gen_banksel option
is useful, because when it is used it messes (a bit) the generated assembler
output (or can be used for debugging, or to create absolute objects...)
