One question about programming via parallel - can you detect the chip type over that interface? For PCI boards, we can use the PCI enumeration functions to look for known board IDs, and refuse to program if either the correct board type isn't found (like 5i20 vs 5i22), or if the correct FPGA isn't found, based on the type in the bitfle. Basically bfload is "safe" right now - you can't program some other manufacturer's board, and you can't load a bitfile into a chip it wasn't meant for. If this is still possible with the parallel port programming scheme, then I'm all for adding it. If not, then I'm still mostly for it, but would have some concerns about how to do it right :)
