Hello!

A couple of months ago, you guys helped me to put cad/nextpnr into the
ports.

nextpnr is a tool for people who are enthusiastic about FPGAs, and it
uses different backend libraries for different brands of FPGAs. (I took
the liberty of adding a full list to the end of this email.)

At the moment, my port is configured to use only one of them as a
backend library, so it only supports one brand of FPGA. Which is a okay,
but I am now toying with the idea to expand it.

UNFORTUNATELY, this means that I would have to create 7 new ports. But
I am not 100% sure that they would have merits outside of being a build
dependency.

So my question to you is:

- Should I do it?
- Should I give them plain names such as cad/trellis and cad/icestorm?
- Would it be justified to group them in a new subdirectory below cad?
- Is there a way I have not thought about yet?

Thomas
