Added accessor functions; there's a demo in test.c (gPal -a <archfile>).

I THINK its enough. If there's anything else, tell me. One thing
that's not there is external controls that don't affect programming -
for example, there's no record of where the CLK input pin is, kept
in the architecture files. Would it be better to keep this kind of info
in a separate pinout file for different package types with the same basic architecture? (similarly with timing info for simulation).

Nice!
