minor edit to clarify that the ericsson folder
contains netfpga stuff only
Some cleanup (and a bug fix in SplitCallArbiter).  Added
a mechanism to prevent starvation in the system (since lots
of priority encoding is taking place).  The mechanism
is "Nobody left behind".
Added new pipeHandler for use with threaded programs (using pthreads).
This one does not need sockets, which are a pain to debug and
also close cleanly etc.  Much faster, more reliable..  However,
the application must be a single process (which can use multiple
threads).
fixed bug in SplitCallArbiter... multiple driver
problem on a signal.   Caught while verifying IMAGE RC.

added a mechanism by which root-modules can be specified
in Aa tools.  This way, unreachable modules can be filtered
out and spurious error reporting can be avoided.
Added pipelined versions of IEEE FP operators as well as an
example in the release directory to do some rudimentary
FP checking..
Some bug fixes to the generic multiplier and adder.
the two work at 66 Mhz on a Virtex 2 (an improvement
of 3x after the simple pipelining).
added input registers, fixed some bugs in the operator-package.
Found and fixed a bug in VHDL library (GenericComb..Operator).
added some new stuff.

Added a sub test
Completed basic implementation of function libraries in VHDL
that can be added to the flow.
Need to allow Aa2VC to parallelize call statements
with no side-effects.
Added correlator example to see how far performance
can be pushed with relatively simple improvements.
Optimized the call arbiter to remove 1-cycle latency. This
permits full rate access to a pipelined function.  Works well.
Also updated AaModule.cpp to report a module as having no
side effects if it does not access shared memory and does
not write/read to shared pipes.  Fixed some minor issues
in GenericFloatingPointAdderSubtractor to get rid of
spurious combinational loops (due to uninitialized variables).

Added some useful stuff in the release area, especially
the pipeHandler.
