Hello, Andreas.

> Just use addql everywhere, it's absolutely the same.

It seems that you are right.
When the target is an address register, addq.w and addq.l both work on 
32-bit, both opcodes are 2 bytes long, and both takes 8 CPU cycles on 68000.

If there is no objection, I will replace all the addq.w #x,an instructions 
by addq.l in the 68000 code. There will be no performance loss, and the code 
will be ColdFire compatible without change.

NB: Please Alan, don't commit the patch, I will provide another one after 
the addq cleanup.
