In 2.2, it would be nice for as many of the sample configurations as
possible to use 'net' in preference to 'newsig'/'linkXX'.  I volunteer
to make this change on the 'sim' and 'stepper' configurations.  If you
have access to other hardware for which there are sample configuations,
it would be great if you could take the time to convert it to the new
'net' syntax.

Short key to conversion:
    # Old                       # New
    newsig bit sig              (delete line)
    linkpp pin1 pin2            net distinctive-name pin1 pin2
    linksp sig pin              net sig pin
    linkps pin sig              net sig pin

If it's natural, combinine multiple links onto one line:
    # Old:
    linksp sig pin1
    linksp sig pin2
    linksp sig pin3

    # New:
    net sig pin1 pin2 pin3

Consistent pin ordering and inclusion of arrows makes the HAL file
easier to understand without referring to documentation.  My ordering
and arrow convention:
    net sig => R R R
    net sig W => R R R
    net sig <= W
    net sig <=> RW
    net sig RW <=> RW => R R R
(R represents reader, W represents writer, RW represents read-writer
such as index-enable)
