Major cleanups of the preprocessor. In particular, the
block-allocation of Token is pretty ridiculous since nearly every
token requires a text allocation anyway. Change the definition of
Token so that only very long tokens (48+ characters on 64-bit systems)
need to be stored out of line.
If malloc() preserves alignment (XXX: glibc doesn't) then this means
that each Token will fit in a cache line.

Many many developers all over the net respect NASM for what it is:
a widespread (thus netwide), portable (thus netwide!), very flexible
and mature assembler tool with support for many output formats (thus netwide!!).
Now we have good news for you: NASM is licensed under the "simplified"
(2-clause) BSD license.
This means its development is open to even wider society of programmers
wishing to improve their lovely assembler.
