My last sentence was kind of confusing.  What I meant was, the
glue (interface) is written by me and so is useable, even if the
particular core I chose was not.  That said, I wrote about 90% of
a 6502 core as an experiment several months ago, though I don't
currently plan to finish it ;)

Yeah, I remembered Matt Conte's cpu core after I sent that
message.  Since Marat's works for me right now on my own project,
it's not a high priority to change, though it will help in making
the interface more generic (and possibly including a portable
core in tuxnes later).

At the very least it makes tuxnes easier to understand and port ;)
I'll make the new code available on my web page in the
not-too-distant future, once it's fit for presentation (unless
somebody REALLY wants to see it RIGHT NOW).
