With some attention, we could probably get Icarus to synthesize to a
target architecture or at least to an intermediate netlist that we can
map.  (We could write our own Verilog parser, but let's see if we can
avoid reinventing the wheel.)

As for P&R, I had been conversing from someone who has posted to
gEDA-dev about this.  He had some kind of background knowledge about
P&R tools, and with my AI (read: search and optimization) background,
I figure we can do this.  We just need to get people involved.
