My head is spinning with all of this stuff that is going on.  How do
we know what assembler is supported by FB^3 and which is not?
I know I have been pointed toward PPC Assembler stuff per
Apple, but has anyone done anything that explains the if's and's
and but's about using inline Assembler with FB^3?

That would make a mighty fine addition to "the Book".  I'm
not expecting a full tutorial, just something that explains what
it is and how it may be done - maybe some references too.
