Hm, I haven't really thought about that in detail and for longer, I
ran it on PowerPC 970 and Intel Atom & i7 without problems (the latter
ones are a non-issue) and think that it can be portable. I just stuff
argument and opcode into one word for regular instruction decoding
like a RISC CPU, and I realize there might be little/big endian
issues, but they surely can be conditionally compiled...
