Well, Neil, seeing as you're only a couple miles away (as the bird flies)
maybe we should form a Xilinx user's group! :-)

I have just taken over a design project using same, and have been well
advised as to problems with the XACT design tools, primarily the fact that
it never routes the same way twice! (This has led to our editing of the 
routed device to fix certain small design problems, and updating the
original schematics to -hopefully- match.)
