 - Add --posix support to shortcut cc_knight.py

0.6.0
 - Implement and test all Knight instructions emmited by M2 Planet, including
   when it compiles itself to Knight, use its test suite

0.6.1
 - Add bootstrap_M2_planet_knight.py and shortcut M2_planet_knight.py

0.6.2
 - Add bootstrap_hex2_linker_knight.py (build mescc-tools/hex2_linker.c)
 - Add shortcut hex2_linker_knight.py

0.6.3
 - Add bootstrap_M1_knight.py (build mescc-tools/M1-macro.c)
 - Add shortcut M1_knight.py (runs mescc-tools/M1-macro.c)

0.7.0
 - Implement and test support in hex1tobin.py and hex2tobin.py
   when architechure is x86 (32 bit), compare with behavior of
   hex2_linker_knight.py (wrapper for mescc-tools/hex2_linker.c)

0.7.1
 - Implement and test support in M1.py when architechure is
   x86 (32 bit), compare with behavior of
   M1_knight.py (wrapper for mescc-tools/M1-macro.c)

0.7.5
 - Implement and test instructions needed to execute stage2/cc_x86.s
 - Provide shortcuts cc_x86.py, bootstrap_M2_planet_x86.py

0.8
 - Implement and test instructed needed to execute other cc_*.s
 - Provide cc_* and bootstrap_M2_planet_*.py shorcuts for other archs

0.9
 - Support any remaining instructions used by other stage0 .s files

1.0
 - Implement and test all knightvm instructions found in
   stage0/vm_instructions.c

Other TODOS sometime prior to 1.0
 * Adding substantial comments, especially for the meta-programming
 * Convert further to a pseudo functional style so get_args_for_*OP functions can go away
 * Separate directly executable Python files from the rest, move library modules to a knightpy package
 * Adopting a compliant file system layout that could make this mergable with stage0
 * Performance test premature optimizations
 * Test Python compatibility
