Kent, thank you for the effort to put this together. I'm sure it will be 
very useful. Using EMC2's output as a predictable and syntactically 
consistent input seems like a good expedient.

An extension, which is probably a fair amount of work, might be to make 
diagram annotations from the hal files. It could import the hal files 
directly and parse them for comments of a predefined form. Such comments 
could wind up as text in a place on the diagram, netlist-wise near to 
where they were found on the hal file.
