- an asmconv based tool for conversion from GNU ia32 assembly to ACK assembly
- in contrast to asmconv it is a one way tool only
- as the GNU assembly in Minix does not prefix global C symbols with _ gas2ack
detects such symbols and prefixes them to be compliant with the ACK convention
- gas2ack preserves comments and unexpanded macros
- bunch of fixes to the asmconv GNU->ACK direction
- support of more instructions that ACK does not know but are in use in Minix
- it is meant as a temporary solution as long as ACK will be a supported
compiler for the core system
