Register Transfer Level (RTL) is the most common abstraction level for 
digital design.  Typical RTL building blocks include, bitwise logical 
operations, arithmetics, truth-tables, state-machines, and as the 
acronym implies, registers.

As for status, I have connected the Confluence frontend with the FNF 
backend.  There are a few minor bugs, but I expect to release the CF+FNF 
version soon after the first of the year.
