I've raised a PR on this though I can change things as necessary.

Essentially, the code adds an optional directory attribute to toVHDL and 
toVerilog.

Leaving the directory attribute as None results in the existing 
behaviour of putting the files in the current working directory.

Setting the directory attribute results in any generated files being 
placed in that directory (including an test bench files).
