Thanks for the explanation, Jason.  I know what it's like getting ready for a 
workshop!

Maybe it would be worthwhile to put the tutorials in mlib_devel.  That way 
there would be no doubt about which version of mlib_devel should be used with 
which version of the tutorials.

I have backported/merged everything from ska-sa and casper-astro (minus this 
latest flurry of activity) including exporting ska-sa's latest xps_library.mdl 
and casper_library_scopes.mdl files to Simulink 7.2 format.  It also includes 
the new yellow block for the ADC16x250-8 board.

Please take a look at the "adc16-branch" of this git repo:

http://astro.berkeley.edu/~davidm/mlib_devel.git

I think this represents the best of all worlds in that it includes all the 
latest pushed ska-sa fixes yet is also backwards compatible with previous tool 
versions.  Plus it include some fixes that are unique (i.e. verilog fix for qdr 
controller and improved handing of newer dspsigops/Downsample versions).

If people agree with me, I'd be happy to push this to casper-astro (overriding, 
but not eliminating, the latest stuff that's there).

Thanks,
Dave
