Looks interesting.  I always like looking at working code.  :-)
I'm also curious to see Bert's wife's colleagues' translation 
of the comments, if it happens.

At one level, this is the kind of project that I would like
see built on a common foundation with all the others.
But also, boundary scan is after all one of the _only_
mandatory features of JTAG, so it legitimately belongs
in the base package.

I would definitely like to merge my work with naxjp.
Give me some time to study the details.
