Altera has a tool called C2H which works with its NIOS II soft core.  You
write code targeted at the soft core and then use the C2H tool to convert
key inner loops to dma-driven logic blocks.  I've never used it, but it
sounds interesting.

Frankly, having come to FPGAs from a long history of softare development,
the FPGA guys are working with stone age tools right now.  The only reason
FPGA and ASIC projects get done at all is that their scope is vastly
simpler than a typical software project.
