Has any one written a better overlay manager thay would like to share?
I am using  Lattice 4.05 and am having the following problems ( most of
which I found by trial and error, because they weren't documented).

1 Chip ram type data must be in root.
2 Some other modules (haven't tracked down why) work fine in root,
  but crash in other levels.
3 A module cannot be called from two different modules  (unless they are
  in root).
4 Using a set of redirection function calls doesn't work as a way of over
  comming 3. (It crashes).
5 Code that requires rapid swapping of a single module (I know, I was just
  testing) crashes.

All these problems are overcome by putting everything in root...
But it kinda defeats the purpose.
