  Well there might be a compelling reason to do so in order to get to 
grips with integrating a fpga in a product :-) , this is the reason for 
my curiosity about building the proto board myself.

  I really want to be sure that I understand the timing problems and so 
on that are encountered in using fpga's since I am working on an 
upcoming product which will incorporate fpga's.

  Also I am currently investigating different synthesis toolsand options 
so it would be nice to do towo things at once :-)

  Btw. if we get 'go' on our design we do intend to contribute some code 
to opencores :-)

  The reason for NOT choosing some vendor board is thus to be a bit 
vendor independent, learn from experience and get some practice before 
it we have to get it right.
