[cc65] Using CA65 as a stand-alone assembler

Hi!

I finally found the time to continue the work on some projects on the C64, i never finished. For some of them I do not need the C compiler, only the assembler. I am wondering if the assembler can be used to simply create compiled binaries. It has a lot more features than Dasm, which i do not want to miss. Currently i make use of the .org control command and create lst-files which I parse row by row for memory addresses and bytes. This is quite easy. I just have to stop if i find a "rr" byte or come over a memory location, which has already been read before.
I know that this is not the intended way to make use of CA65, but it works good so far. Nevertheless it would be nice to have a more common way to create binaries. Does someone have an idea? I was thinking of modifying CA65 to add a switch, which generates a binary (if possible).

Best regards,
 Benjamin
