I put serious time in on this over a year ago, and came up with nothing. Every attempt I made to take a standard file format and get it to produce a Xilinx-usable bit stream for FPGAs or configuration map for CPLDs ended in failure. I sent the offending files and error message information to Protel and never heard a word back. They obviously had no interest in making PLD work for Xilinx. I also tried to get .xnf and .edif files to go into Xilinx's place&route software, but they didn't like the file's format. The Xilinx tools from back then were abominable. They have improved it considerably since then, but I still prefer the Protel environment by a good margin.
