Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+/*
+ * What is the most efficient way of loading/storing an unaligned value?
+ *
+ * That is the subject of this file. Efficiency here is defined as
+ * minimum code size with minimum register usage for the common cases.
+ * It is currently not believed that long longs are common, so we
+ * trade efficiency for the chars, shorts and longs against the long
+ * longs.
+ *
+ * Current stats with gcc 2.7.2.2 for these functions:
+ *
+ * ptrsize get: code regs put: code regs
+ * 1 1 1 1 2
+ * 2 3 2 3 2
+ * 4 7 3 7 3
+ * 8 20 6 16 6
+ *
+ * gcc 2.95.1 seems to code differently:
+ *
+ * ptrsize get: code regs put: code regs
+ * 1 1 1 1 2
+ * 2 3 2 3 2
+ * 4 7 4 7 4
+ * 8 19 8 15 6
+ *
+ * which may or may not be more efficient (depending upon whether
+ * you can afford the extra registers). Hopefully the gcc 2.95
+ * is inteligent enough to decide if it is better to use the
+ * extra register, but evidence so far seems to suggest otherwise.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately, gcc is not able to optimise the high word
+ * out of long long >> 32, or the low word from long long << 32
