Problem Title:
Foundation: Importing Viewlogic schematic could change some bus names


Problem Description:
Xilinx Foundation does not support the following Viewlogic
bus naming conventions:

1. Characters following the bus index.
2. Multi-dimensional buses.

If a Viewlogic schematic contains buses named DATA[7:0]_OUT
and ARRAY[3:0]_[7:0], the imported schematic would contain
buses named DATA_OUT[7:0] and ARRAY_[23:0].  The 2-
dimensional bus would be renamed as follows: ARRAY0_[7:0]
would become ARRAY_[7:0], ARRAY1_[7:0] would become
ARRAY_[15:8], etc.

All bus renaming is reported in the Foundation Project
Manager window and is also recorded in the Viewlogic Import
report (VLIMPORT.LOG).
