That is a correct statement. In fact, I have no plans to ever implement
PLI 1.0 in the core simulation engine. However, I have pointed out in
the geda-dev list that the VPI is complete enough that it can be used
to implement a PLI 1.0 interface (tf_ and acc_ routines) so if I were
to receive patches to the libvpi library to implement PLI 1.0 using
the VPI of the core, that would be good.

Of course, that's even better:-) If Atsushi wishes to contact me
directly about particular failings in the Icarus Verilog VPI, that's
fine too. There aren't many VPI programmers out there, so there is
a big hole in the ivl-bugs database.
