That's OK.

hp800.h is the only hp*.h we have, so it seems to apply to all hp machines.
I don't think we need to worry too much about the presence/absence of
ia64 in the name: most of the stuff in hp800.h (the one from emacs-23,
I mean) is OS-dependent rather than machine dependent, as is almost
always the case nowadays.

It's not ready for real use, but that doesn't mean we can't include it.
