88602aa53a ps2pdf: remove -dOptimize=true
Remove -dOptimize=true; it actually generates larger output, since the
optimization performed is "network optimization".

2ce0274303 Use a 32-bit floating-point limb size; support 8-bit float
Use a 32-bit limb size ("like a digit, but bigger") for floating-point
conversion.  This cuts the number of multiplications per constant by a
factor of four.

This means supporting fractional-limb-sized numbers, so while we're at
it, add support for 8-bit floating point numbers (apparently used in
graphics and in audio compression applications.)

7065309739 Formatting: kill off "stealth whitespace"
"Stealth whitespace" makes it harder to read diffs, and just generally
cause unwanted weirdness.  Do a source-wide pass to get rid of it.

4cba95cf81 nasmdoc: corrections on 64-bit immediates/displacements
Corrections the section on 64-bit immediates and displacements.  In
particular, immediates are sign-extended the same way displacements
are (and the same way 8-bit immediates are), so there is some use for
the 7-byte mov eax,dword imm form :(

37a321fbbe Implement the -MG option (SF RFE 1564264)
Implement the -MG option, to generate dependencies in the presence of
generated files.  In the end, we probably need to support the full
gamut of GCC-like dependency-generation options.

9b49e24e1f Feeble attempt at updating the documentation; remove Appendix B
Feeble attempt to document 64-bit support.  Also, remove Appendix B since
we have been utterly useless at keeping it up to date, and it's redundant
with the processor manufacturer's documentation anyway.
