  I'm rebuilding it on my side as a I wrote this... I will look for
  the fine tuning.

  OK. Just to be clear, you mean that:

  1. They are extraneous and we can avoid putting them out.

  *or*

  2. Its the interface *for now* and it will change in the future to
     some normalized standard.

  If its the second case, to have a better approximation, we must keep
  the wishbone interface exported for now.

  OK.

  Some update from my side, I'm implementing a high fanout net synthesis
  algorithm which is roughly placement driven. As I'm experimenting
  various ways as I go, I do not commit because of very ephemeral
  stages.
    I'm also working with Staf on the TSMC 180nm portage to Coriolis.
    And, I'm (again) in vacation until Sunday 6, September, so the
  advance of the work will depend on the (bad) weather...
    By the way, the port 922 is filtered by the ISP of my current
  accommodation so I get them though my home box (after transforming
  the commits into patches). Writing this make me think I should
  have just made a ssh tunnel. Stupid of me.
