[Coco] What is the current location to get gcc6809 4.6.4 + lwtools patches? gas -> lwasm, ld -> lwlink wrapper scripts?

[William Astle]

The current location is in the "extras" folder in the lwtools 
distribution. The official lwtools distribution point is at 
http://lwtools.project.l-w.ca/. Any other source should not be 
considered canonical.

It should be noted that those wrapper scripts are not intended for 
general usage but rather are purely provided as wrapper scripts so that 
gcc6809 works. As such, they do not provide complete translation (even 
if such a thing were actually possible). They have not been modified in 
quite a long time.

Please allow me to take this opportunity to lightly smack Gene upside 
the head for having a publicly visible copy of the lwtools source tree 
which, worse yet, has already been built for his system. This is the 
sort of thing that leads to confusion on the part of the users.

I should point out that while what Gene has done is not ideal, it is 
perfectly legal since lwtools is under the GPL.

I hacked them up for my own preferences and this has apparently made them somewhat incompatible with other projects.  So a second question, does anyone have improved wrapper scripts for gas -> lwasm, ld -> lwlink than the basic ones that Gene has provided?  Or perhaps Gene has made some improvements since.. earlier this year around July?
