Added --define to lwasm documentation. Added documentation of the -D/--define command line option for lwasm. It has been present for a long time but has somehow escaped documentation.

+>LWASM accepts plain text files in a relatively free form. It can handle
+lines terminated with CR, LF, CRLF, or LFCR which means it should be able
+to assemble files on any platform on which it compiles.</P
+><P
+>Each line may start with a symbol. If a symbol is present, there must not
+be any whitespace preceding it. It is legal for a line to contain nothing
+but a symbol.</P
+><P
+>The op code is separated from the symbol by whitespace. If there is
+no symbol, there must be at least one white space character preceding it.
+If applicable, the operand follows separated by whitespace. Following the
+opcode and operand is an optional comment.</P
+><P
+> It is important to note that operands cannot contain any whitespace
+except in the case of delimited strings.  This is because the first
+whitespace character will be interpreted as the separator between the
+operand column and the comment.  This behaviour is required for approximate
+source compatibility with other 6x09 assemblers.  </P
+><P
+>A comment can also be introduced with a * or a ;. The comment character is
+optional for end of statement comments. However, if a symbol is the only
+thing present on the line other than the comment, the comment character is
+mandatory to prevent the assembler from interpreting the comment as an opcode.</P
+><P
+>For compatibility with the output generated by some C preprocessors, LWASM
+will also ignore lines that begin with a #. This should not be used as a general
+comment character, however.</P
+><P
+>The opcode is not treated case sensitively. Neither are register names in
+the operand fields. Symbols, however, are case sensitive.</P
+><P
+> As of version 2.6, LWASM supports files with line numbers.  If line
+numbers are present, the line must start with a digit.  The line number
+itself must consist only of digits.  The line number must then be followed
+by either the end of the line or exactly one white space character.  After
+that white space character, the lines are interpreted exactly as above. </P
