I already tried this way and it's working. Perhaps I'll will try to put the 
non-contiguous opcode parts into separate enums (similar to fr30.cpu).


BTW: It's some ago seems the last commit into CVS. There may be some items 
which should be done (support for newer guile, error messages, ...). Do you 
think that cgen should be moved to binutils?
