[MiNT] 32-bit FreeMiNT kernel

Hi,

just an idea to discuss -- while hacking CT60 TOS I realized we can do
now things which seemed totally impossible in the past like native
FAT16 / FAT32  support, hard disk driver inside and voila -- 32-bit
TOS API which would make possible, among others, also to make FreeMiNT
kernel 32-bit (i.e. able to compile without -mshort). Of course, we
have to keep compatibility for old apps, so new parameter on stack
would be introduced for new apps (in mintlib and freemint) so that
32-bit API is used.

I just wanted to know your opinion on this, is it any good, except
good feeling we're 32-bit? :)
