I am not using vvp32, but I am also not a heavy user of the PLI.

However, I did try to build openSUSE RPM's from the latest development
snapshot and ran into problems related to vvp32, I did not have before.

For openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 the build failed with some vvp32 errors. I
haven't taken the time yet to look at them closer.

So from the build point of view, taking out vvp32 would simplify
matters. However, the build is not a purpose for itself. If there are
people using vvp32, those should off course given priority over my
troubles figuring out the build for vvp32.
