	The current version of LightspeedC generates code for the 68020
(long multiply/divide, bitfields), which is upward-compatible with the 68030,
and for the 68881, which identical in object format to the 68882.

	LightspeedC currently doesn't support the PMMU instructions on the
68030, but a future version may support it in the inline assembler.

	[Note that the ONLY software difference between the 68020 and the 68030
is the set of PMMU instructions.]
