	To avoid flames: yes,  I  know  what  I  am  doing  is  non-
	portable.   I  am  not  trying to write portable code.  I am
	trying to write a fast copy for a  68000.   I  have  checked
	that the pointers are really word-aligned.

If this is the case, then you dont want casts.  I've noticed (while using
adb) that using casts generates calls to routines that will perform type
conversion, rather than the inline code you might expect.
