[Coco] Retrochallenge -- Micro-C for CoCo

I think John wants a compiler for DECB.

I have tried the gcc6809 and it made a code for DECB and seemed to run
fine. But gcc is meant for multiple registers processors so the speed would
never be optimal.

And why people always ask why ? Do you ask why the mountain climbers climb
the mountains ?
