Generate is high on my list.

SmartModels were top of my list, and I'd made some progress on
that front, to the point where I could *load* the PPC smart model.
Xilinx was interested in getting them working.

However, I couldn't get past some initial startup.

There is a PLI-1-to-smartmodel adapter that I loaded using the
cadpli module, and that in turn loads the SmartModel. But I got
stumped by its behavior, and couldn't get far.

To implement SmartModel support, I really will need support from
the vendor, Synopsis I believe, and/or from model writers. I got
support from places within Xilinx, but there was only so much we
could do.
