[Iverilog-devel] vec4-stack progress

Tonight I've pushed more updates to the vec4 stack. I'm at the
point now where the vast majority of the regression tests pass.
Those that don't are interesting and in some cases marginal, and
I'm considering merging the vec4-stack into master and accepting
a few new bug reports.

There is some code cleanup to do. I handled a lot of the changes
by ifdef'ing old code out (so that it can absorb mergings) and
putting the new code in. After the merge, a lot of dead code will
become ripe for removal. Also, I expect some cleanup, bug fixes,
and performance work will need to be done.

I've wanted to make this change for a long while now, so I'm eager
to get it merged into master, but I'm open to advice/suggestions
on how to proceed. I think one thing is for people to start trying
out this branch and getting a sense of where we are at.

The work is on the vec4-stack branch of the iverilog repository,
and the vec4-stack branch of the ivtest test suite repository.
