The New Jersey Machine-Code Toolkit library contains support for a
data structure called `reloctable blocks' that exactly solves the
problem. The Toolkit also contains other useful support for writing
assemblers---for example, you can write a concise description of the
instruction set and the toolkit will spit out `encoding procedures'
that assembly the correct binary representation.
