	Yes, I think that was it. Thanks.

	Also, checking the slides more carefully I was able to answer
	one of my questions:

	How to declare your processor supports 3 operands instructions ?

		By default the jit generates 3 operands instructios.
		For architectures supporting only 2 operands, add a line

			#define	TWO_OPERAND
		
		in config/<arch>/jit.h.

	BTW, a comment in config/m68k/jit.h says TWO_OPERAND specify
	your architecture supports 2 operands instructions "rather than one"
	(I guess it was a 'rather than three')

thanks,
	Raffaele
