RE: gEDA: Icarus Verilog RFC

The one item missing from simulation (that I wanted to try
but haven't had the time for) is VCD file generation.

We really need that to allow looking at stuff with the
available waveform viewers.

Might I also suggest something along the lines of what Linus
does - do some "pre" releases working toward a first stable 
release. Give us a chance to test what you think is stable
and report bugs for a couple weeks?

Still many miles to go and many tests to write...

I was just now able to compile and execute user defined functions
(behavioral only) and I'm starting to think that I should be making
a stable release soon. Functions were really the last thing holding
me back.

So at this point I would like to hear about the most pressing issues
that would (in your mind) keep this from being a usable release.
Once I make this stable release, I want to switch gears and work
mostly on synthesis, so I would like to get simulation more or less
good enough from a feature set point of view.

(Obviously, I will continue fixing bugs even after the release.)

Let fly, so that I know what the needs are and I can more usefully
schedule my time.
