Adding the '*' doesn't break older or newer versions of gas... leaving it out 
breaks newer versions, however, so the older versions were less strict, 
allowing for less consistent code.

Now for an update on the blitters.

Went in to just work out the segment registers bit, and now I'm optimizing 
them, but I guess all's well. When they're done, how should I submit updates? 
I don't have much experience with diffs, figure it's better to ask first... 
or should I have already caught this somewhere, and should know the answer ;x

I completed blit.inc and iblit8.s last night, working on iblit16.s now. Going 
to get some more files done, and will send the changes out when I get the 
submission method cleared up.

Also... I notice some of the 8-bit blitters use the 'cld' instruction, the 
same 16-bit blitters have few differences but don't use it... isn't the 
direction flag supposed to always be clear on entry?
