took about 5 hours but there's now information missing, i cut too much out.

the  parser took about a day to get into shape.

putting in the decoder and a prototype regfile, another day.

first succesful instruction was today.

estimated... maybe... 3-4 more days and we should have the complete
set of integer instructions done.  not speed-optimised at all.

quirks such as what various SPRs mean and do, maybe another 2-3 days.
