It seems that cgen/doc/porting.texi is more meant as a reference manual
and not a howto.  The document that I started writing on is at a much
more
basic level and is a "this is the easiest and fastest way to get things
going"-document.  I don't see a clean merge here, so maybe it's better
to
keep them as two separate documents (referring to each other).

But maybe it's smarter to choose and example architecture that is
included
in the standard distribution of CGEN and GNU binutils.  The FR30 port
seems
to be very good documented.  Maybe we/I should use that as an example
instead of my own port?
