If you have any suggestion on things that ought to be documented, do
not hesitate to tell me (or better, supply patches to the
documentation :-)

Do you mind me including your Python disassembler in PicForth with the
same license as PicForth? It is currently GPL, but I may switch to a
BSD-like license (without attribution clause) to further use reuse.

By the way, are you by chance familiar with GNU Arch? This is the
revision control system I use for PicForth -- if you used it as well,
you could easily keep track of your chances even accross PicForth
versions.
