hah, that's another issue. But assuming that it was not,
what good reason do I have to not write a VHPIDIRECT-based
package with these essential operations ?
Has anybody done it before ?
Could there be (later) a patch to GHDL that provides AND/OR/XOR
to integers so GCC does not have to make a function call
just of one boolean instruction ? (that would have to be
enabled with a pragma or command line option of course,
to not mess with existing code bases) 

I simply feel an urge to write/code something about this today
but i don't want to reinvent the wheel.
