I have heard several people on the net refer to the "mc68k" #define,
which seems to be THE one to use for the 68xxx family of processors.
It IS still necessary, though, to have the #definitions mc68000,
mc68010, mc68020 for the specific processor chips, to take advantage of
the extra power in the instruction sets.
