Hi fellow CGEN-hackers.

>From what I've seen it seems that CGEN have matured to the point
where it maybe is time to write a list of what should be included
in a CPU description, and where.  Maybe list all keywords and such.

The reason for this is that maybe someone would like to write a parser
for .cpu-files, and not use the Scheme-sources provided by Red Hat, Inc.

(define-insn ...) and similar seems pretty "stable", but there seem
to be a lot of confusion regarding the (define-isa ...) fields.

brgds,
johan
