[cc65] Redistributing custom targets

Hello,

I'm the author of JBit (http://jbit.sourceforge.net/), a 6502
framework for mobile phones.

JBit is focused on Assembly and I chose cc65 mainly for the
familiarity and flexibility of its assembler/linker combo, but it soon
became clear to me that having a C compiler was invaluable; I used it
to test the CPU (I would write a short C program, run it on both JBit
and a reliable 6502 simulator and compare the registers after each
instruction; it was very effective: I'm not an experienced 6502
programmer and even short C programs use exotic addressing modes that
I don't use) and to quickly write short test programs. When I wrote
the test programs I ended up porting most of conio to JBit.

Unfortunately I couldn't use the conio.h without patching my cc65
(e.g. conio.h is allowed only on a known target); to me it's not a big
deal, but making the user patch his cc65 installation seems like a
support nightmare. JBit is a new project and is pretty unknown, so  my
"solution" for now is to not supply neither Makefiles nor instructions
for the C runtime.

What do you reckon is the best way for me to proceed?

Regards,
Emanuele Fornara
