This will take on all the air of a religeous war soon as there are
	two very stubborn camps on opposite end of the issue...

	Chris D. has already said that mc68000 is not acceptable, m68k is
	the Moto general symbol. I would partially agree. mc68000 is NOT a
	generic Moto CPU, it is the first version, the 68000. m68k, or better
	yet __m68k__ would be the best for generic Motorola 68k series CPU's.

	First, make is given the knowledge of what hardware and port it
	is on via internal variables. I think it IS more appropriate to
	handle this via the internal make variables than having some
	poorly named symbols, i.e. one's without __, hard coded in to
	a compiler.

	I think the PROPER symbols are:

	__m68k__, __amiga__, __amigados__ and __NetBSD__

	When you want to refer to ados specific code, check for
	__amiga__ and __amigados__. When you want to check for NetBSD
	code __amiga__ and __NetBSD__. When you just want something for
	Amiga hardware then __amiga__ for any OS. When you want something
	Moto 68k then __m68k__ and if you want something specific to
	the 020, 030, 040 or 060 then you damn well better be kernel
	related source or a sound thwap on the back of the hand is in order!
	The kernel has other mechnisms for the rev of CPU so a specific
	compiler define should be needed.

	Personally I think amiga, m68k, NetBSD and mc68000 are very BAD
	names as they don't have the __ before and after.

	In the end, due to this being a religeous issue, we will end up
	with the worst possible combination of things and multiple
	NetBSD Amiga ports for the differing religeous views. B^(.
