A nitpick, but why would you change everything to Jxx except BAL/BAS?  JAS
would be more consistent.

IEABRC is pretty clever, but I've found it pretty quick to just rename all
the B* to J* and clean up the exceptions.

However, in my recent environment, virtually no branches of any kind were
hard-coded; only some macro maintenance was needed.
