OK, fine, I'll continue working on it. I just thought it would be a waste
of resources. However, I most likely won't have the chance to do a divide
block. So if Jamil could write that in Verilog, (I can do the testing, I
have a compute farm at home) it does not have to be all perfect, just do
a single precision FP divide. I will need it about two weeks before Damjan
needs everything, so I can integrate and verify.

Damjan, we need to talk about schedule. When is the actual tape out date ?
How much time do you need for integration, testing and synthesis ?
When do you need to have all blocks ?
