I finally gave it a shot.  What I found was that it did not work with my
Spartan 2 board.  It might be worth trying with my Spartan2E board
(actual product, not experiment board), but I don't have high hopes.

I guess I will have to either setup a RHEL4 machine or else buy a
Spartan 3 board.  Can any one confirm that this program works with
Spartan3Es?
