My main concern is the stuff about inline asm for MSVC.  Note that there are
now only three asm functions used in Crafty, FirstOne(), LastOne() and PopCnt().
 I am more worried that it might not be done correctly now as the old
USE_ASSEMBLYA/USE_ASSEMBLYB were combined into USE_ASSEMBLY.  More when I get a
breather to look.  We are interviewing perspective faculty this week which is
keeping things hopping around here.
