I've modified the M68000 version of gas to accept source code in official 
Motorola syntax, rather than the syntax of compiler output.  E.g. "-(A0)" 
rather than "a0@-".  

The purpose was to make learning assembly language a little less 
unnecessarily-complicated for our students, or perhaps to prolong their 
delusion that real life is like their textbooks.  Now it's done, I'm 
wondering if anyone else might be interested in using this version, whether 
for reasons of pedagogy or simple personal syntax preference.
