This thread:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.myhdl/1484/match=vhdl_instance

has some information.  Note, I simply went to the gmane
myhdl page and did a search.

http://search.gmane.org/?query=vhdl_instance&group=gmane.comp.python.myhdl

But At this point, direct hierarchical conversion is *not*
supported and I don't know of anyone who has automated
the manual process.  I can only contrive possible solutions.
If you are looking for working known solutions, they
*don't exist*.  There are not specific threads and no other
information (as far as I know).  At this point in time what
you are looking for is not supported.

Will it be supported in the future?  I don't know.  It seems
reasonable but there are not the resources to implement it.
