Suggestions?  I thought "TO_CPSR" was clear...

I think it actually makes everything a lot cleaner myself.  Especially given
the previous definition that required runtime checks for TST et al.

would be useful within tcg though -- it's main use seems to be doing an
equality comparison while preserving the C flag.
