okay, I want to write a function that performs Alpha Blending between 
the backdrop and a bitmap being blitted.
I can think of two ways of doing this... create a 64K (256*256) alpha 
blend table and use this in a C function (should be pretty quick) or 
write it in Assembly (this will be harder cuz my knowledge of Assembly 
ain't that great).

if the second option is better (assembly), then I would like to know how 
to make GCC output assembly code (i think borland C did this at one 
point).  And then I will try to optimize the outputed assembly code...
