hmmm i've found that it's slow work but it's necessary to have the
actual vhdl open at the same time, and to "be" the person that's doing
the translation.

also: much of the work can be done with a few choice
global/search/replaces.   ": std_ulogic_vector(63 downto 0);" can be
global/search/replaced with " = Signal(64)" for example.

note that anything in a "rising edge" block **MUST** be "sync +="

again: i believe i have said this about 5 times already, so you should
know by now that you do not need to ask when committing code that you
*know* is unused and cannot do "damage".  so as jacob says (message
just came in when writing this): please just commit it, don't keep
asking, ok?

also this time remember to do "git push".
