We'll you certainly have our vote for pushing Xilinx to port their
Xact tool to the Sun. I don't think they are being "really protective"
about the internals: They just haven't documented the bitstream format
down to the PIP level for the users. It's now public knowledge that
Monolithic Memories (MMI) will second source the Xilinx LCA silicon.
Perhaps between Xilinx and MMI, a groovy s/w design tool that runs on
the Sun will emerge! (FYI: Xilinx telephone is 408-559-7778)
