Make LispM code FREE (fwd)

If the sources are released, they would be for the CONS architecture version
of the MIT Lisp Machine, wouldn't they?

If I recall correctly, the CONS architecture had fewer tag bits (four) than
the Ivory.  This would likely make emulation on a 32-bit machine a bit
easier.

Did the CONS have locatives?
