[sv-cc] Compatibility Proposal Updated for Mantis item #1385

All-
The latest version of the VPI Compatibility Proposal has been uploaded
to Mantis
1385, and is ready for your review.  [ I have not attached it here this
time,
since the last time I tried this it did not get through the reflector. ]
It includes the following changes as per our review in the face-to-face
meeting 5/1/07:

1) Minor wording and clarifications incorporated (thanks to Charlie);
2) Added 'vpi_control' and 'vpi_register_cb' function to list of
mode-affected
   ones (they potentially deal with design object handles);
   [ I inspected all functions to see if it was worth including any
more, and
     I believe this is now a complete and reasonably conservative list.
]
3) Section 35.13.2 (mechanism specifics) restructured, clarified, and
sub-headers
   added for the two mechanisms;  [ Please review completely, as I think
it
   differs significantly from the original. ]
4) Rewrite of first paragraph of 35.13.3 (as suggested by Jim Vellenga-
thanks
   Jim) incorporated with minor changes.
5) Last paragraph of 35.13.3 improved (with stronger incentives to
upgrade as per
   Gordon's suggestion- thanks).
6) vpi_user.h upgraded to include new functions added ('vpi_control' and
   'vpi_register_cb').

Early feedback welcome- [ Michael R. especially ! ].  Charlie, please
include
this on next week's agenda (I'm hoping we can vote on it).

Thanks again to all who participated and contributed to this effort!
Regards,
Chuck
