hi,

i have long wanted the table of compiler letters an the binary dir names they 
relate to to be defined in a textfile somewhere (/lib/cpus maybe). currently 
there are bits in mkfiles and some hard coded tables in cpp and c86 etc. 

when i wrote mkmk i just added another copy of the same table.
