Platform Independance

[js424]

From what I can see so far it would not be too difficult to also support other platforms like RISCV and ARM 32 bit processors by creating new versions of preForth-XXX-rts.pre where XXX would be RISCV or ARM32 or other processor. The preForth-backend.pre would be virtually unchanged (from preForth-i386-backend.pre) by including an assembler macro in preForth-XXX-rts.pre that changes the symbol DD to .word and porting the assembler code for the 13 essential primatives.

When making changes to support other platforms remember to change Makefile for compiler information and approperate file extentions (.s instead of .asm if required)
