Hmm.  That depends on whether you want to include the principals
of assembly language or not.  ARM assembly language is just ...
cruel, I think.  (someone on a yahoo ARM group pointed out
that what would have been a MOVLW-like instruction on most
processors became one MOVLW-like instructions and two ADDLW-like
instructions when compiled from C.  It makes sense given the
architecture, but... Eww!
