Re: [RFA/commit] Add new file hppa-hpux-tdep.c


I am adding a new file, were all the hpux-specific stuff should go.

I am treating this as a semi-RFA, despite the multiarch rule, because:
  - Despite Andrew's recommendation to name the files pa-* to follow
    the name of the directory where the config files are stored, I
    kept hppa because it's what is used in the configuration triplet.
    If I had to change anything, I'd prefer to change the name of the
    directory...
Well, the directory config/pa will eventually go away :-)

  - There is also this fnchange.lst file, which I don't understand
    completely. The documentation says I should add a new line for
    each file that does not respect the 8.3 format. But it does not
    say what should be there. I thought it should be @V.../longname
    followed by @V.../8+3name. But I saw many exceptions, and many
    entries missing. So I'm not sure what I should do for this patch.
    Eli?
Only the files with 8.3 name clashes need a rename. So areallylongfilename.c is ok provided there isn't also areallylongsecondfilename.c :-)

(perhaps the doco needs clarifying?)
