Chris,

The `make vcom` doesn't work as git-bash expects the .exe extension to 
find `py.test` . 
If I give the command `py.test.exe vcom.py test_*.py >utest.log' it seems 
to run, be it with a lot of failures. 
But I have `myhdl-0-9-dev` sitting alongside my local `myhdl' and of 
course the test is using this `myhdl`-tree, and I have a few experimental 
changes:
like instead of `if bool( sig ) then` I made toVHDL() output`if (sig = 
'1') then`. And the first test fails on that as it has this in the 
converted putput: ` a <= (not (a = '1'))(0);` where the unmodified myhdl 
would have produced ` a <= (not bool(a))(0);`, which I don't quite 
understand either. 

The main observation is that I'll have to set up that virtual Linux 
machine anyway.
