Yeah, I know about the VAX (wrote a back end for it for a
mini-C compiler once) but I was thinking more along the
lines of preserving the original spirit of simplicity
of the PDP11. The VAX was just a tad too complicated for
my taste.

Besides, it only had 16 registers, and everyone knows
nowadays that you need at least 32...
