That would be VERY kool! I'm trying to get some traction with this
problem because Xilinx has some elaborate models that it would be
nice to support. But what I need first is some tiny models that I
can use for debug -- something that just prints its inputs, does
something simple, and sends an output would be helpful.

I was at one time able to load the lmtv module that was compiled
for Cadence, and use that in turn to load the PPC SWIFT model, but
that was far to elaborate a model for me to get traction on what
was going wrong.

Now if I was somehow able to get Synopsys interested in actively
helping me support SWIFT on Icarus Verilog (and why not, they have
support for a bunch of other simulators) that would be very ideal.

E-mail me directly and maybe we can work this thread.

Thanks,
